If the NSA did follow up all uses of NSA, they'd have to trawl through those many emails and SMS from people using NSA to mean No Strings Attached. Or: Notary Signing Agent National Scrabble Association National Student Association National Steeplechase Association National Sound Archive Nikkei Stock Average National Shipping Authority National School of Administration (China) etc. There are 127 listed at http://www.acronymfinder.com/NSA.html And then there's all those seNSAtional words which would give rise to many traNSActions. The trouble with data is that you often don't know what they mean, what they used to mean, what they might mean and what they were intended to mean. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: b...@iimetro.com.au web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
