Thanx Slick

Must admit, my motives were somewhat selfish...the acronyms were driving me crazy at times!

You have to start a new thread.

Missed this in your posting!

I asked a couple of weeks ago what IIRC means? I've forgotten! Age must be getting to me!

I believe the other two mean:
IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my humble opinion

This can go into "fun stuff"

Here's a good one, that was thrown around a while ago:
SEX = The highly anticipated Tenth game in the Space Empires Series.

PS:
IIRC, IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

The purpose of my offer to put it in a spread sheet was for exactly what you did. A tab delimited file is a text file that most Word Processors, Spread Sheet, and Database programs can import. A separate file would be good to have for people who are reading a thread, run into a Acronym and need to bring up the list. I read the forums with a database open designed to take notes on various aspects of the game.

Most likely it is over kill.

Perhaps the Newbie Guide, Acronym
List and others should be merged into the "Encyclopedia Malfadorica”

Gryphin, sounds like a good idea.

How would it work in practice?

You also say:

Good idea! Never thought of it! So obvious!

Don't know if you want to use this one but... OT: Off Topic
