[Fists] What does CQ FISTS mean?

[n8ie at woh.rr.com]

Hello, (insert your name here)

Could be almost anything. I had to do that to a guy a few years ago.
I was calling CQ, he answered me and started sending all his info, about
than my little 4 year old daughter got sick all over the bathroom.
I had to leave the guy hanging because my baby girl trumps everything else.

So don't take it personal, could have been one of them "life gets in the
way" things.
