Nanglebadger Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 GOT ONE!!!!LSD!!!!!!!!!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted June 21, 2007 Share 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.
