Hi all,<P>Been posting here a while, and something that has been driving me crazy are the anacronyms (spelling?) - You know the internet shortcuts. Most I can figure out without a problem, but some perplex me.<P>So I was wondering if we could use this post as a reference to what they all stand for - I am sure it will benefit all newcomers to the site!<P>I'll start:<P>WS - wayward spouse<BR>STBX - soon to be "X"<BR>BTW - by the way<BR>IMO - in my opinion
