OT= off topic IMHO= In My Honest Opinion
BTT, TTT Bump all the same, back to top, to the top, bump to top, thread to top etc

I HATE the word "Stupid" got enough of that from my Dad.
If you don't know the answer, that doesn't make you stupid!

Anyway no reason to feel alone on the subject I have always been lousy at acronyms. I had an algebra teacher once that had all these acronyms that she would put on the tests and I never knew what they meant. Just show me how to work the equation and forget the extraneous BS.

All of these predate the world wide web- considerably. They were first used on dialup bbs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system, and then became common starting in the early days of the "internet" on usenet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet

They've since transcended into www forums like this one, and are a part of the online vernacular.

Here's a list I found online. http://css.sbcma.com/timj/acronyms/

But most folks these days use only the really common ones.
