Hi Richard,
Care to share your Acronym Database.  I too have much difficulty understanding the parts of emails when acronyms are used.  I prefer spelling everything out thus minimizing misunderstandings.  Likewise, I wish everyone wrote more clearly.  Instead, sometimes I feel like the acronyms used are like words from an unknown language.  My two cents, anyway.

I do now 8-). Seriously, the list helps when I am reading something computer related and the rude arrogant author (nobody here qualifies for that title) starts throwing them about as if everyone knows what they mean 8-/. The rule is place the original use of the acronym in parentheses then spell out the acronym. After that use the acronym liberally, but courteously repeat the process five to ten pages later.
