A request to the Great Rabble:

Half the time that there are initials used, I have no idea what they mean and it consumes several minutes to figure it out... or not.

For the few moments that it takes to type out the whole set of words, might I respectfully point out that it would save the rest of us each a lot more time in wondering, researching, and often just giving up? It slows down the conversation and in fact may exclude some members from some threads if they are uncomfortable or embarassed to ask.

Thanks so very much for your consideration!
