After reading a few posts, I have been amazed at the number of acronyms that are used, and that obviously, I do not know ;-). I think that in general the use of acronyms is a bad idea in the long term. Yes, it saves people a few seconds but it also limits the flow of information. Ultimately, the advantage of using the web and forums like this is to gain access to information fast.The use of acronyms detracts from the usefulness of this forum. Also, it is not the best for archival purposes but who cares about that. Really, some posts reminded me of the scene in A day at the races where Chico is selling the tootsie-frootsie ice cream. I am aware that people are not going to change their posting habits just because I say so ;-). There are 2 suggestions:

1) include the name of the word/s for for the acronym in the first usage.

2) Include the link with the common abbreviations thread in the wiki so that people can easily find it. I can help in this process but I do not know many acronyms.

Do you guys think that these good suggestions?

Al raz.
