The original small insert into the welcome sticky is looking as though it will get rather long. I think I'll split these posts and make a new thread that I can point to. That way the welcome stays tidy and the thread can be added to if needed without me having to constantly edit things.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

Thanks for this thread, have been wondering about some of the abbreviations for a while, but didn't want to seem stupid! There is still one I can't figure out though - PMSL or something like that?0
