| | | | (...) Shiri, How about an "Acronym of the Week" instead/as well. A posting with an Acronym of the week with a link to your Acronym page might help a lot of people and cut down on the number of "what does 'POOP', 'SPUD', or 'BURP' stand for" (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

| | | | (...) Actually, I think it would be good to post an already defined acronym to the main LUGNET page. Sort of an "intro to LEGO". That way new people are aware that there are acronyms and a place where they are defined. The current FAQ page is a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

No no... the reference was not a new *acronym* every week, but a new and humor-oriented entry to the "commonfolk's FAQ", which is more a joke than a real FAQ. I was not even *thinking* of "making up" (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

| | | | | (...) Agreed. The idea of posting a FAQ link once a week (if it used some new humourous tidbit so it was a fresh post) to catch the eye of newbies is also good, IMHO. And as far as adding more entries to the commonfolks FAQ... anything to reduce my (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

It would be just like the taglines that used to appear on BBS's in "The Old Days". By (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
