Ok since i got a couple of emails with this question i guess i will save
my fingers and just answer it once.... :) a TLA is a Three Letter Acronym
and since in the english language there are 26 different letters there are
therefore 26^3 = 17576 different TLA's. This thread started as a bit of a
joke and has gone completely off topic though i think it is preety funny.

I now return you to your regularly scedualed debates on grounding through
quickenings and how much w... *THAP* OWW i wasnt going to finish that you
didnt have to TWAP me! *grumble8 :):):)
