I'm doing that too, and I came across plenty of abbreviations sprinkled in the posts which leave me quite bewildered.

Thanks for the list, I'm going to alphabetize it and clean it up a bit and sticky it in the Lounge.

I also added GT and PP to the list.

EPN used to dumbfound me until someone clarified that it meant Ebay Partner Network.
Also, I don't see CS but I guess we don't talk about such activities in BHW!!
