Default Stupid question? What exactly does DIY stand for?

This has always made me slightly mad in the noggin to wonder what those letters stand for every time I see them in a post. It makes me think of DUI or FYI or maybe FBI....lol!

Stupid? Yes. But curious minds must be informed of these things.

You'd be amazed what google can answer for you:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=DIY

I google and wiki all day long for research on just about anything. http://www.diyphotography.net/ is a good site too!
