For over two weeks, we've not been able to send any emails from our Bigfoot address. After contacting our internet server provider ("ISP" in their jargon) I've been ping-ponged between them and our mail server, hit with advice in the form of acronyms I cannot decipher. They use terms such as SMTP, SPF, and TXT. (STP, I know. It is a brand of motor oil.) I've pleaded with these people to give us the solution to our problem in simple lay terms, but expressing themselves in anything other than their lingo seems beyond their capability. There lies a gulf of knowledge between us, and neither party can cross over to the other side. I'm waiting on my programmer son to bridge the gap.

In the meantime, see if you can decipher the two abbreviated lines of a famous play (in red, above).
