I did. Or rather, I figured it out from the context. I'm certainly used
to "clothing optional." I didn't think it meant 'care of.'

My point is that if you take the attitude to try and figure something
out, instead of attacking someone for being unclear, you'll tend to get
on better that way. Besides, this is usenet, where people use
abbreviations all the time. I've had to look up several ones that people
use here frequently. Maybe some people had to look up OP to figure out
what it meant.

Jesus, Chancellor, who the hell knows what C/O means? Not me, that's
for sure! He wasn't 'berating' anyone, just taking piss a bit. I agree
with him, the OP should have been clearer instead of using odd
abbreviations.
Also note that this is the only post ever made by this poster,
