    But that list doesn't include RITFOTU or GSVLGI. Not, mind you, that I'm any more of a fan of acronyms than Al.

    When I was an MP i used to sit in on Treasury briefings. I swear there must be a degree in acronyms these people get. I was always interrupting with " does that mean". Fair dinkum in a 50 word pararaph there'd be 34 acronyms. Hate 'em.
    I move me and Al form a new Party. WHAP (We Hate Acronyms Party).
    Any seconders.
