Sorry James to hijack your thread... That's OK Adrian, it is Christams after all. Also thought I'd nod my head in agreement over your thoughts on THREE LETTER ACRONYMS. For me they just make me lose the jist of what I reading, hindering not helping.

James, we really can't have this kind of thing, Christmas or not!!! It's a Three Letter ABBREVIATION, an Acronym is quite different. acronym /"akr.nîm/ n. a word, usu. pronounced as such, formed from the initial letters of other words (e.g. Ernie, laser, Nato). Greek akron 'end' + onuma = onoma 'name' (Encarta '98) IANAL but QED! :-) Have a good one, Adrian
