Reply to "Acronyms, Abbreviations & Terms Used in OGR Forums"

Is this really needed? Certain "acronyms" listed aren't even acronyms like LW, ZW, KW and many are well known amongst the Forum like OGR, GG1, TCA, PW, PE, WBB, AC, DC, UP, UPS, O22 and others ad nauseum and need no clarification. I've been way from the forum for a while but have recently begun posting again and I've noticed a number of forumites who just seem to be over complicating simple things that I never noticed here in the past. The overwhelming majority of people in here will know what "I have a WBB ATSF F3 A-B-A NIB for sale" means. Every group on the planet has its own jargon and if you want to hang with them you need to get up to speed and not expect them to make sure everyone knows what I'm talking about before I start using an accepted form of describing an item, process or procedure. If you don't know what a term means, ask, don't expect someone to spell everything out in their original post and then use acronyms on any follow ups to it. And Google isn't always the best goto for what something is, our "TCA" doesn't show til about 10 items in as an example. If someone is complaining that they don't know what TCA or WBB means and that's their biggest complaint in life, they should count themselves lucky, just ask, no one is going to jump on you for it or call you out as unworthy.
