They would be more usefull in alphabetical order.Being a newer member myself, I found it sometimes difficult to fully understand what some posts intended due to the frequent use of abbreviations. Over the past few weeks I've compiled a list of common/not so common abbreviations used and I thought it would be a good idea to post them so that the new members to our forum could better orient themselves to the discussions.
I did my best to make the list comprehensive, but if I forgot any please feel free to chime in. * I know this has probably been covered somewhere before, but in quickly searching the forum, I didn't see a posting covering more that 2 or 3 at a time... so I apologize if this is redundant.
