Just as the Ford Motor Company abbreviates to FoMoCo, (not to be confused with MoFoCo), "Forum Contributor" would naturally abbreviate to "FoCo", or perhaps "FoCon".

Demo & Neil - that's funny 'Focor' is a fairly close approximation of the noise that comes out of my mouth when I intercept a PotentialSpammer (Or PotSp'er as they will henceforth be known!) [;D]

....

Right I'm off... See all you 'pants soon! [;)] <NB. *joke* works better where proper English bis spoken>
