| | | | | Randomly generated acronyms (was: Re: The commonfolk's FAQ)
|
| (...) Yeah.... plus, people wouldn't encounter acronyms directly on the front page anyway! It's the newsgroups where they appear frequently. Still, I'd get kinda annoyed if there was an acronym on every news page. Maybe on the news' front page? (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

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)

| Hi Eric! Don't apologize for getting off-track - I was just confused whether you misread my post, or I misread yours. ;-) (...) Wow! I like that.

| | | | | | Re: The commonfolk's FAQ

| The original Pantone pallette I used had CMYK values, I translated them via Photoshop for your convience.

| (...) CMYK is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (subtractive color model vs RGB additive color model). CMY gives you a muddled gray/brown so K is added for pure black.
