Because usually it would. Not always but usually.

Thanks but I already know about EDT. What does EDTN stand for?

Thanks but I already knew all of the above. I would like to know what 
EDTN stands for. Why does a simple question have to get so complicated?

I've tried asking www.madsci.org which always rejects my EDTN questions. 
I've also tried asking www.allexperts.com which often respond with "This 
is out of my expertise".

After doing my own toilsome research and even asking those so-called 
"experts", I am still not able to find what the EDTN acronym stands for.

This is why my posts are not so polite.
