Here is the so-called "definition" of TOFU:
"Text Over, Full-quote Under (or, in the original German, "Text Oben, Fullq=
uote Unten").
A combination of top posting and full quoting, which makes the messages har=
d to read (accoring to RFC 1855).
Often combined with raw e-mail addresses in quoted messages (see PCYMTNQREA=
IYR).
Added after repeated requests from Corinna Vinschen"
Ah, now everything is clear: "Added after REPEATED REQUESTS from Corinna V=
inschen"
Who apparently asked over & over & over again until they finally capitulate=
d.
Well, whatever that jibberish was supposed to mean,
it would seem someone has a bee in her bonnet about it!!
(Oh, by the way, for those of you who don't speak German,
"Text Oben, Fullquote Unten" is just as meaningless)
