Is there a guide for all these acronyms?
My Ignorance | Today | Brainhose

Posted on 09/18/2004 8:02:24 AM PDT by Brainhose

Please pardon my ignorance, but.... Even though I've been using the Net for over 12 years,
I often find myself flummoxed by all the acronyms being used. Is there a good online dictionary
to help feeble old men such as myself.

You need to help me come up with a new tag asap, IMO. This one is growing loooooooong in the teeth.

Of course, I will still agree with everything you have to say.

No guide, if the truth be told, generally WMTU.

I have noticed it doing that lately.

And sometimes after posting I will be returned to the thread but my post is not there. I have to go to "pings" and then be there I be.

Bread, cheese, olives, nuts, apples and grapes.

Looks like the remains of my lunch.
