Heh, since you were only adding a one-liner, "Top-posting ruthlessly

Ah, ok, some of those letters are not new words... :-) Other possibilities: TPRS (same), or ToPRuS (hey, that looks kind of cool!) ?QRS (?? quoting ruthlessly snipped, where ?? is Excessive, Unneeded, Gratuitous, Redundant, or your favorite synonym), or ?PRS (same, but with p=posting) ??RRBDAHOI (?? same first two as above, ruthlessly reduced by dropping a hippo on it.
