Err, umm..That other person who contacted him was me Steff Embarassed
I had just returned to the keyboard, when I saw what you wrote in chat.
So I sent the real JakeStarkey a message, asking about NRU.
Now, trouting me, would be too kind, because back in the beginning of September, I wrote, under the topic of Yahoo profiles...

 		If we're strict about it:
Quote:
Trout
A polite system of ranking a redundant or factually false post. "Trout" is a term to politely advise a user that perhaps more research or fact checking should be used in the future, as the information has already been discounted or is already known.
But what about posting information that's immediately factually false - and it isn't even redundant! It's a brand new post that the author already knows isn't helpful...Are we going to expand the term trout, or should we make up another term for this sort of post.

I'm thinking "flounder" or "blowfish" Wink
