being one of the oldest here, one of the things i need help with is the acronyms you all use. i'm familiar with a few, spl, cya, bfd, shp, pos, etc. but stymied with others. i don't consider myself ignorant, nor an expert in any subject, but a lot of the acronyms leave me baffled. maybe one of you computer guys could compose a list, which when used would appear in hyper text so readers could click on it and gets it's translation..

Not necessarily... Before you can ever buy a pair of F.O. Axioms, she will surely buy 20 items of F.O. apparel.
