sorry for my lack of understanding in the Angle and Saxon department.

Usually, it means that the company that produces the product in question wasn't expecting as many orders as they got, so they don't have any in stock or expected soon, and need to have more manufactured before they can ship it to you. Similar to "out of stock".

It appears to be referring to a member number for these forums, especially if the word in parenthesis - CPBELLER - was part of the original e-mail:
member #2808's profile
You could try PMing or e-mailing the guy.
"CPBELLER" also shows up as a handle on a number of other Boards.
