hi, all, just wanted to tell you i am really amazed about
this vivid discussions about acronyms. yes, it is fun and i am happy
i started to tickle you all with my first mail about collecting a
list of unix abbreviations so much, i now read about 106 mails about
acronyms. hey, this is fun, that way we are going to produce a big, big
list in 2 or 3 years :)
(well , there must be millions of acronyms  not thousands :)) ->
so i guess, we ned some years from now on to have a complete list :)) )

btw: ls : list screen, i always read about that explanation in various
unix books , so i took it as example, i am so glad, that my 
perhaps wrong explanation " list screen" shows, how important the
whole acronyms-debate really is.

and perhaps we should have another cgi-script, that does only
list all the wonderful jokes about that acronyms.

hey , this thread is so much fun, i am not trembling any more :))
