Hi Everyone,

As you might be aware, I'm new to the group. I've noticed
that you guys use many acronyms, can you please list your
most used acronyms in this newsgroup and let me know what
they stand for.

Example, what does woe means?

Thanks,

WOE = way of eating WOL = way of life YMMV = your
mileage may vary

Those are the primary ones.

Trinity, you read my mind! I'm also new to the group and I
thank you for asking for a list of acronyms. I was going to
ask the very same thing this morning. Patty

What you'll want to is watch for the FAQ posting. This is a
posting that appears in the group weekly (I believe the
frequency is weekly or more often in this group). That is the
list of Frequently Asked Questions and is a standard posting
for newsgroups.

In that posting, they have included a lot about the specifics
of this group, as well as a pointer to some official group
webpages which have lists of the acronyms that we use.

BTW, WOE is Way Of Eating.
