vBulletin does not index any words of 3 characters or shorter, so a search on "FRC 111" would yield nothing (or everything?).
[EDIT: Tried it and did not get 'bad' results. The default index word length can be changed, and I suppose Brandon did]

Unless you have reliable, verifiable links to resources that prove us wrong. We
love when you can do that!
If you can answer a question and KNOW your are correct, then do so. But if you are not sure, either do the research and prove it, or DON'T POST. Bad information is far more harmful than no information.
If you have a question, search. It is a lot faster, and if you're any good with searching, you'll find what you need 99.9% of the time.
For the other 0.1%, ask a lucid, organized and complete question, using proper language. Provide as much info as you "know", and be sure to label guesses or speculation as that.
Doing this will greatly increase the value of the very wonderful resource here on ChiefDelphi: The people.
Example: If I needed really detailed info that a good search revealed doesn't exist on, say, space exploration, I can go ask THE "Program Executive for Solar System Exploration" at NASA.
Himself. And he will actually
read my question and formulate an intelligent, well-thought-out answer
for me, including references to more info.
Where else can you do that?
I am still in awe of the massed brainpower here.
Nice thread Jane, thanks.
