Angela Brett, who doesn't know who Ron and Jane are, but speculates that the Ron and Jane who searched for that on the website were just hoping that someone would see their names on the unsuccessful searches page and expand them, so that they'd be 'famous' by being on a web site.

Really! One Should Expect - Sometimes - Anthony's Reaction. Experts Rarely Eschew 'Dares' Very Intense - Often Late Evening - Thinking Sessions Are Required. Electrified Brain Lights Up. Encouraged - I Try Harder! I Now Know It's Very Easy Making Acronyms. Dictionaries Enhance Abilities Now Allowing Champion Recover Original Notoriety. You May Look Over Newly Generated Extravaganza Regretting Thy Hasty Announcement. Now You're Overthrown, Unfortunately. Dearest Angela Fancied Fame Of Dethroning Irishman's Longest Spelt Acronym.

RTFM
Reflects 'Teaching Fishing' Metaphor
Angela Brett, when there was a discussion on the Cocoa-dev mailing list about whether RTFM (Read The F***ing Manual) responses are productive. Some people argued that it's better to show people where to look to find information rather than just giving the information, and one mentioned the saying, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.'

RUNTIME SYSTEM
Rarely Used, Not That I Mind... Everything's So Yucky & Slow That Engineers Murder!
Angela Brett, who actually loves things like HyperTalk and Objective-C for their runtime systems. 'Rarely Used, Not That I Mind' was just too good to resist.
