Well, I'd say STFW, but I'm not sure that'll make sense either.

Yeah, why bother. That site the other guy gave me was so much better than
the crap google turned up.

You would bother because otherwise you're just insulting clc respondents by
implying that you think your time is more important than theirs.

the crap google turned up.

The only reason Google would turn up crap is because you don't know how to
use it.

The main site stated by Lowell Gilbert was the fifth hit from a trivial
search on "usenet terms iirc".

Do yourself a favour and read the help pages that websearch engines provide.
Googles is...

I'd also suggest you have a read of...

....and particularly, take the time to read...

Would still not have gotten that site from anyone but the pedants here!
Thanks again!
