That`s the point. I know Anders' acronym site and found it helpful when I first engaged
in transhumanism which is a while ago. But when I talked about abbreviations I was
mainly thinking about scientific or everyday terms that a quantum physicist or every
American housewife knows but that don`t mean anything to the average German lunatic.
But I have started an experiment yesterday. I will list all three letter words I don`t
know from that part of the extropian email traffic I manage to read and try to figure
out their meaning, provide a good link to every term and post it by the end of October.
Maybe someone then can store this foundation of a three-letter-word data base on his/her
website so all the newbies can profit from it.
