"This Time to the Public Forum."

It's used when you sent a message to a-d by mistake, intending to send
it to a-b; if you want the message to count, you then have to
sheepishly resend it to a-b, explaining that you sent it to the wrong
forum initially.

This sort of thing happened often enough that the apologies and
sheepish explanations eventually collapsed into a single six-letter
initialism. (It also seems to have taken on a sort of Agoran-legal
meaning, approximately "I perform the actions in the message quoted
above" – quoting a message from a-d in a-b doesn't normally perform the
actions in it, but the TTttPF clarifies that you're meaning to take the
actions.)

This could lead to an interesting CFJ – is a "TTttPF" sufficient to
take the actions in a message you're quoting if some players and/or the
intended recipients don't know what "TTttPF" means? The situation is
comparable to that of 
"nkeplwgplxgioyzjvtxjnncsqscvntlbdqromyeyvlhkjgteaqnneqgujjpwcbyfrpueoydjjk",
but different enough that I think it makes for a different case (as
most long-time agorans know what TTttPF means but the whole running
joke with nkep is that most players don't know what it stands for).
