    Personally, I hate texting.

    PHIG was just a joke for Ron's benefit, and I'm surprised it caught on at all.

    Don't forget DallyB and her sister DallyY. And who could go without the BBW and, if we may include synthetics, the Big Green Shrimp aka the BGS (pronounced Bee-Gees).

    ...imagine what I'd be like if I had had HAD like JimmyHAD has.

    Aaarrrgghh! (got caught up in the dreaded character shortage) Maybe this acronating ain't all that it is cracked up to be.

    OK How about "Woodcraft" stone? That way they either get the praise or blame depending on your viewpoint.

    The ebay seller says that the stone comes from the Guangxi province of China
    So, call it the “Guangxi Stone”.

    Really, you can call it anything you wish as long as you don't give it a grit rating.
