fine but what do they mean?

That's the problem, some are easy to figure out but not all

 

[GaryCaine]

What I'm getting at is the abbreviations are used a lot, but especially for people that are new they mean nothing.

A reference to what they mean would be handy

 

[onetwentyish]

Sorry. Put those down as a place holder then edited in.
