Quick question, I know what a blog is, but is it an acronym for something? I like to keep up on these things...

You couldn't have picked a dumber person to ask that question. The reason I had that link so handy is because I need it so much.

I have no idea what a diaphragma is. I suppose it may be related to vulcanism, something to do with magma perhaps?
The poster probably didn't mean diaphragm either, that would make no sense what so ever.
Although I think that it is a leap to assume that the poster was a he/she. The poster might as well be heterosexual. To dwell on someone's sexuality is uncalled for.

A blog is a weB LOG. Or an on-line diary usually written by one person or a small group of people.

FR is not a blog but a on-line bulletin board

Shhhhh! You will ruin my reputation if it gets out. :^)

Actually I have found that most people here are willing to help you out. They just like to tease a bit as well.

Ther is a huge difference between teasing and just being plan old nasty. Which some of the replies have been.

Thanks, Physicist.

Are you really a physicist? I always wanted to be a mathematician or physicist. Love hard science folks.

I know what you mean. I took a Psychology major in undergrad and the jargon was enough to make you go blind.

"Mental Health Consumers" uh, do we mean patients?

Where ya at in CA? I grew up in Santa Maria.

That depends what the meaning of "are" is. :-) I have a Ph.D. in experimental high energy physics, and spent 11 years in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Penn (until two months ago). I am now employed as a programmer.

As long as eveyone is willing to be so ready to rip me a new a**hole, do you realize what incredibly bad grammar that statement is?
