<<is NEF an acronym? where did it originate? Monty Python? SNL? MST3K?>>
NEF comes from a member whose nick was "NEF". He started out by posting "testing" about 25 times in a row, thenceforth (<--good word, don't you think) the term "NEF" was applied to all those who would post useless things, though it is generally reserved for people who post irrelevant replies to a thread or people who do what bobtist did as an illustration. Windogg had a great post about the origin of "NEF" a week or so back, but I'm too lazy to do a search and link you to that thread. 🙂
