LIST UPDATED 12/02/10

I couldn`t stand it any longer. I have a pretty good idea what the products are, but there`s always someone more cryptic than need be, even today I read something I just couldn`t decipher. So I went to the `Updated Acronym` thread and copied it into Excel. Then went through all the posts that included things not on the list, compiled them all, culled, sorted, edited (mild edits, mostly simplifying text), then alphabetized the whole list so every acronym has it`s own line, even if it`s got multiple meanings.

I only started a new thread on Acronym`s as the other one was getting a bit tedious and we know it`ll be a little while before the new & improved site has acronym pointer display.

I hope this helps everyone/anyone.
