lobotomy Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Gee I thought LSD was Lysergic acid diethylamide I had a good text file I copied from a random site once -- it had more general terms in it too that cropped up.I have an idea -- see how you can link to actual posts within a thread? Well we could have a glossary at the top (in alphabetical order) like G has already -- but each abbreviation is itself a link to a post further down the thread for instance: This links to reply 2And where it links to has a more in depth (unless it's really straightforward) description??note: only prob I've found so far is it links into a new window, but I'm sure there's code to link it in the same window.
