[ale] ick - big brother alert (acronym correction)

[aaron]

I meant to note TIC for Tongue In Cheek in my
previous message, not TOC.

I don't thing we need to explore interpretations
of what the "O" could stand for.

And yes, I know.... if I'd actually read my own
comments before posting, then I might catch the
acronym typos.

peace
aaron
