Don't worry. Most off-line english-speaking people have no idea what most of these acronyms stand for. The reason is that a lot of them are specific to the IRC / forum / online culture. (and of course TLC may actually be an exception to that) A few possibly useful links: http://www.red.net/support/resourcecentre/general/acronyms_smileys.php http://www.apc.net/ia/scrmaim.htm http://www.jargon.org/ and of course http://www.acronymfinder.com/ (did Dimi mean 'Tables & Ladders & Chairs'<g>) -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ War doesn't determine who's right.
