No more acronyms!

[notfred]

There are too damn many acronyms in use on this forum, I never know what they mean amymore. Can we at least limit acronyms to one acronym per character combination? I jsut saw a thread title that said, "I am loving my BB", At first I thought, why would you love a little metal ball that you shoot at things? Then I thought: wait, maybe he loves Best Buy for some reason. So I clicked on the thread and what does he love? His broadband internet connection. We can't have three meanings for the same acronym! I also remember a thread with a title like "Having trouble with OD" and I thought the poster was overdosing on some drug, but no, he was having trouble with an Office Depot rebate.

Could you please just type out a couple extra words instead of inventing new acronyms so that the rest of us can tell what the hell you're talking about?
