Greg, I agree wholeheartedly.  The abbreviations make life a bit
simpler for the typist but a lot harder for most normal humans.  And
you're also right that this has come up numerous times in the past.



Folks, please try to avoid the use of abbreviations (yes, I'm guilty
of that too at times) in your messages to MDOsprey!
