It is not always opinion. Several of us work very hard to post facts. On occasion, the complete reply to a question requires a bit of speculation.

IM(R)HO - in my (rarely) humble opinion
BMDB - bite me dough boy (Drew Carey)
<G> - big grin
TTYL - talk to you later
l8r - later (not really an acronym, but in the same vein)
