At the request of our members, we are providing a short list of some of the most frequently used acronyms. Please note
we do not encourage heavy use of acronyms (as this makes it difficult for those not used to BBs to understand everything) but occasional usage is okay.
This list does not aim to be exhaustive and I do not claim to be an acronym expert. However, please let me know if you notice any glaring omissions.
If you are reading this post expecting to find Insight-related acronyms, have a look at our
