Subject: GZG acronym hell
Is it just me, or does it strike anyone else as a bit funny that we see stuff like: "Re: [ds] BB's HBT (was: RE: SG2 vs DS2 vs FT)" in our subjects... Can you imagine what a non-initiate must think... (NSA will be thinking we're transmitting some kind of simple substitution code...)
