I'm not exactly new to the internet, or FreeRepublic, but I haven't the faintest notion what "bttt" means. Did you say something nice, or was it an insult?

LOL, it means "bump to the top", it keeps your thread showing up on the latest post page and in the view of readers who might want to take a peek at your thread. Oh, and LOL means "laughing out loud", not an insult.
