About This Message Board

I have found myself lurking on these message boards so much lately that today I decided to pay up. Now that I’m a paying member, I jumped at the chance to do a comprehensive search of the archives to see if there is a list anywhere of the acronyms I see used around here. I figured out FWIW, IIRC, etc. But can someone educate me? Does anyone have a definitive list?

Go to the About this Message Board forum and read the rules. I don’t remember which sticky it’s in, but there’s a list of acronyms.

I’ve notified a Mod that this thread needs to be moved there.
