Lee H., if you wonder what it means on alldeaf, not in general, I can say writing that word in a post on alldeaf often means one are trying to attract audists, filling up a thread with garabage, resulting in a lock down and massive waste of time.

This will perhaps happen with this thread, if you are lucky(or unlucky, depending on what you want).

Travis: I think the correct word is "autism" which is NOT the same as "audism".
