Please don't assume everyone will know what your 'clever' little acronym means. SYAUYA. You don't know,so i'll type it in full , it only needs to be done that way once or twice, then readers can understand and go with the acronym. "Shove Your Acronym Up Your Ass." There. Thank you.

WTF! Sounds like Basil's developed an IC TMTCD. Acronyms aren't people being clever just people not wanting to spell out every single word over and over again.

Oh, while we're at it. Avatars. Too many with just the blue and white quarters. Means I have to keep reading names. How about getting some pics, folks

Angas, I prefer the quarters to yours, which I have always found offensive.

I was devastated when it was changed to: Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate ... just when I was getting the hang of it.

Angas, I prefer the quarters to yours, which I have always found offensive. I like the quarters too, it's just there's so many of them. When people include quotes, by the time you've scrolled down to read what they're saying in reply, the avatar is usually still visible, but the name is lost. Plus it's quicker to recognise an image than read text. (Yes, I'm just being lazy/trying to save time.) Do you find my avatar offensive? It's not meant to be, but I'm happy enough to change it if folk don't like it. Again it's just laziness, sticking with the same one since forever. Edit: Changed it. Is that better?

I really enjoyed it and thought it was fun, it made me smile every time I saw it. Didn't you use it on the OF in the old days ?
