Actually, we have one of those.

Uh...we really can't have a forum-specific list of those instead of searching around, right?

 

[Ghan]

I don't really think it's necessary. I don't really see that we would gain anything.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Perhaps the only advantage of this:

You don't need to type in anything to search for it.

Other than that, guess you're right. Thanks anyway.

Everyone knows them already anyway. Everyone who'd visit this site anyway.

IMHO acronyms are BS, FYI. IANAL, but IIRC these are more annoying than they are useful, like WTF?
