Acronym Thread Addendum – General Internet Acronyms

[Phil Light]

Due to several requests, and the fact that I said I'd get around to this eventually, here is a list of general Internet, email or instant message-type acronyms. This is an add-on to the Photographic Acronyms Sticky (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=261117). I thought I'd start a new thread and link to it instead of making the other post unbearably long.
