I have been enjoying this site for some time but enough is enough!! What do all the abreviations mean? like ddl sid etc.
Am I out of touch?

Nah, it just takes some getting used to...pretty kitty!

I believe if you go to search and put in abreviations there is a post that covers quite a few of them. Will see if I can find it.
