Perhaps, using language that can be understood by all, could reduce
unnecessary bandwidth usage, which is used by people having to ask what
is meant by obscure abbreviations (fundamental rule of communication -
try to avoid jargon, as much as possible).

I believe that I have not asked before (although, I could be corrected).

You should, perhaps, consider others a bit, Christian; not everyone on
the list has either your fondness of, or familiarity with, these obscure
abbreviations. And, after the installfest, it is possible that new
subscribers may occur, who will, no doubt, similarly ask what these
things mean. People should not have to use a jargon dictionary, to be
able to use the mailing list.

Oh, and, I understood that it was extremely bad etiquette, to "shout",
via email, using big letters, as above. but, I may be wrong.
