OT: Acronyms [was RE: Question]

[Paul King]

Well, 1) trolling happens seldom on this list (although yes it has happened); 
and 2) I don't know you or your intentions, but to be sure I found your message 
obscure, and I see myself as quite clean on the topic of "Internet messages". 

I agree it is a technical discussion list, (and so you don't need to spell out 
"OS", "OOP" or "CPU") but my experience tells me that it has been posted to by 
people at all experience levels. Many have more experience than I do, while 
others have less. So if I was confused, you probably confused a lot of other 
people, but probably not everybody.

And finally, point 3) people like StreetSmart who post innocent questions that 
even show little knowledge of computers of operating systems in general are 
usually patiently dealt with by many on this list. Their questions are taken 
seriously (at least I take them seriously) because I feel thankful that 
ordinary users have considered Linux at all.
