What does BTTT mean?

[Stajack]

I'm not aware of a full transcript. The excerpt that I posted was a manual transcription by me. I recorded, replayed, copied and repeated the process until I was sure that what I wrote was what I heard.

[Stajack]

I forgot to ask you, what does BUMP mean?

[Stajack]

BTTT = back to the top. Thanks, but what does it mean? same question for BUMP. I probably sound like a Martian just arriving to Earth.

Then use quotes to identify the contents of the actual transcript.

BTTT = Bump to the top.

Thanks for the link BTW. :)

When you post BTTT, your post will appear at the top of the list on the forum and scroll out of sight in short order.

It gives those who missed it another chance to catch and read it. More or less, BUMP does the same.

My education continues. Gracias.

Your fundamental idea was a good one. In the future, to make sure you're better-heard, I'd suggest using bold for one, plain for the other; or italics; or you could even use red font.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Another idea: use blockquote to set apart the part you are quoting. There are lots of ways to emphasize and set apart the things you want to distinguish that are better than all caps. JMHO.

Dan, I get your point...BUT, the caps were intended to distinguish the actual transcript from my own editorial comments.

A useful practice is to put quotes in italics, and your own comments in standard type.
