Suggestion on Use of Acronyms

Traditionally an acronym should be spelled out in parens after First Usage in a piece — be it a document, essay, report, or Post. Thereafter the acronym can be used alone freely.

I suggest that rule be followed for ease of reading. You can see this avoids the hopping around to past posts only to find out what your subject might be.

Gee, that would have been helpful in the Q era.....between the chess boards, clocks, and riddles, I often got lost.
