[Strider2K99]

I've been really curious. Are there other acronyms I should be aware of while going through these boards?

On a side note, anybody know the etymology of "YMMV"? Where did it start? I've heard newscasters says it in completely metaphorical ways, not in the literal ways that we use it here on this board.

I think it's pretty funny, I always wondered why people said Nintendo the world.

for the longest time I would see people make a good point, and then someone would quote them and say QFT. Kept wondering why people kept telling the smart post guy to Quit ing Talking!
