I dislike this acronym. If the opinion of the poster were trully humble, then they would not use the acronym. In my opinion IMO works just fine. If you see me use IMHO, then you know I am being sacastic.

This is not a rant! I would like to know if I am missing something. Are there reasons for the use of this term?

Please give me your opinion, humble or no.

IMHO, opinions belong in MPSIMS, not GQ.

I agree. YMMV.
