I was taught that the first time one uses an acronym it is proper to spell it out with the acronym in parentheses. Could we please do this? I am not a species-specific person and am continuously frustrated when I go to a forum that is (to me) speaking a different language. Is it really that hard to type in whatever it is you are referring to? I get that most folks of like persuasion know what what you are referring to, but please PLEASE think about us folks who are not conversant in your cryptic language. It makes me feel unwelcome.
