Thread Name: For First Timers, et. al..
Subject: RE: For First Timers, et. al..
et al. (no point after "et" as it is not an abbreviation) = (L) et alia = and others.
What the title is, presumably, meant to imply, is inter alia = among others.
and some more / and the rest is et cetera.

As one of my old classics tutors used to say: tintinabulum clamat.
