is it relevant who would know what the letters stood for? were they meant to convey a message to someone? were they put there so that the letter receiver would ask what they meant? or just put there for your own satisfaction? do the letters refer to the way you were feeling? to your position in any group? had someone previously referred to you in a way that is relevant here? referred to you in words that begin Q L R P? does the P stand for philosophy? philosopher? professor? | ||

Is Q.L.R.P. an abbreviation at all? does Q. stand for a word? does L.? R.? P.? are the dots after the letters relevant? Do Q.L.R.P. stand for name(s)? title(s)? Did you put these letters behind your name just to make the recipient wonder what it could mean? Did the recipient use obscure abbreviations/titles behind his name before? Was it a letter to a politician? to the Member of Congress of your county? to a newspaper editor? Was your letter intended to be forwarded to other people? read in public? published? | ||

Were you trying to use up letters to make an anagram? | ||

Are the letetrs to pronounced in some way (like QueElArPee or similiar)? Are the letters used as symbols (like the smiley :-) ) ? Do we need to turn the page sideways or upside down to 'read' the message in Q.L.R.P ? | ||
| Hannah Kinghern (Kdoc)
|
could you have put other letters there for the same effect? is it necessary that there be four letters? could they have been numbers? other symbols? are the letters intended to refer to you at all? to refer to anyone? do they signify that the receiver should take some particular action? had the receiver used letters of this sort in his letter to you? were you annoyed at the misuse of letters after people's names? or the snobbishness attached to using letters after one's name? | ||

Are the letters in a code? If so substitution? Could I have put them alongside my name? or are they unique to you? Do the letters represent something commonly put after a name? do they describe you? or something that you have done? | ||

When somew pompous jerk signed a letter to me with his name followed by "M.D., F.A.C.S." I signed my reply '"Felicia Nimue Ackerman, B.A., O.L.R.P." to get across the point that unless one's professional credentials are relevant to a letter, it is pompous & self-important to include them. Sorry it was so easy & please direct those laserlike lateral minds to my new puzzle at the bottom of the page ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
