Acronyms on this site?

[porter1974]

Hi, First off, I'm new to the forum and really appreciate all the great information. I am however having some difficultly following some threads as I am unfamiliar with alot of the acronyms used. Does anyone know if there is a previous thread or list posted on the board to help educate myself? If not, maybe a new sticky may be helpful?
Thanks,
p.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. Maybe in a couple days I will copy and paste all of them into a list and post for others. If that's acceptable with the moderator's?
Thx,
