Please help. I see lots of acronyms on these forums. Some I figure out but lots I haven't a clue. Can you all help the newbs like me to understand them all. If everyone could post their use of acronyms I think this will help out lots. If there is already a list please point it out. If not use this tread to make a sticky or some sort. Thanks
