    Plea to Jack "Acronym" Humphrey

    As much as I look forward to and read each of your posts to this board, which display your vast range of Corvette knowledge and helpful and witty responses, this dumb(er) CE (chemical, not civil) is choking on the vegetable soup.

    In the last 3 days alone, I've had to/tried to decipher your SA, PB, TS, T/R, B+, B, RF, RC, RMC, LD. These were stand-alone acronyms, without prior or obvious definition. Heck, I won't even complain about the standard lexicon of AIM, LH, RH, BB, SB, JG, PN, MY, NDB, which I previously knew or learned of since joining this discussion board.

    I figure if it takes me (and others ?) longer to figure them out than it took you to type them, there's efficiency to be gained by politely asking that you post to the lowest common denominator, which I guess is yours truly.

    TIA xxx delete previous letters .... insert Thanks in advance, Wayne

    Every specialty area has its jargon. When I sense the poster is novice, I do try 'See Dick/Jane' methods using parenthesis. I'll take your comment as positive critique and try to improve, but some abbreviations (BTW, AIM, SA, MY) are pretty much ingrained to the hobby.... Thanks!
