After I read what I read on on another topic I had to put this down. I don't know too many abr. and to be honest, I really don't care. I always forget what IMO means, but then again, it doesn't make too much of a difference if I do know anyhow.

I saw a list somewhere like this once just for fish related acronyms. I think we even used to have a link to it here once upon a time. I have no idea where it is, but if somebody finds it that would be great.

Sneasle - I'm glad you gave the translation for that mess - I would have had to print it out and then connect the dots to see if I could make it make sense!!

To The Old Salt - I love your avatar (such an evil leer!) - but I'll bet it gives little kids nightmares!

OldSalt's avatar reminds me of the Shadow King from the xmen comics (wow. I'm not random AT ALL)

Anyway, you're welcome Cuke
