@Piggie: Were you thinking we should have sort of a wiki style information page about each of the definitions? Or, I could create a separate thread with A/V words and link them to each of their wikipedi.com or other source that has already defined the word on the net.

Do I need a hover craft mod for my mouse? Just kidding.
Hmm on the wiki type page. I searched Wikipedia for a lot of the acronyms, and a little less than half were there.
Actually when I suggested a glossary, I wasn't sure what I thought for a format. Probably the most I thought about was just a page with a list of word and acronyms.
I don't know how much work it takes, but if you started a parallel site to this on a subdomain (dreams of grandeur) like wiki.dtvusaforum.com running wiki software? It might push this forum way up in ratings and being known.
Might want to do a more extensive search if anyone is doing this now. Wikipedia is very very extensive, but isn't complete in esoteric areas.
Mainly just throwing ideas around. I have a commercial server in a server farm (not at home) and if you ever needed a LOT of room, I am looking to sublease half of it. Just throwing that out so you know, probably don't even need anything that big at the moment.
