Who May Find This Useful

New consultants or community members who are unfamiliar with the acronyms used in discussions may find this thread helpful for understanding the terminology.

It grew out of newbies asking the same questions over and over, without anyone ever doing a search to see if the question had already been asked. It's still annoying when the answers are right there, but aren't read.It's also annoying when people ask questions that are answered in the manual they get in their kit. Hello? Read the paperwork in your kit! Arrrgh!

Tell us what you really think KG!!! LOL!:D Well, I think creating that thread was a brilliant idea and instead of sharing your aggravation my telling them what you think, you create that thread.... which is cool:cool: ! It's a lot easier to give the link when people ask, than it is to continuoulsy repeat one's self.
I try to put myself in their shoes a lot, remembering the utter confusion at time! Although being a seasoned consultant who had nothing like this when I started and had to read everything the old fashioned way, the manuals (gasp!:eek: ), which I might add - were absolutely huge back then!:rolleyes: :eek: :grumpy: , it does get frustrating sometimes... so thanks for putting it together to save some frustration! - on everyone's part!;)

I've found I really need this thread as a newbie, so I'm whacking it back to the top of the pile. It's made even worse as a Brit with some of our Pampered Chef online thingies called different things!
 
That would be called a bump, as in, bumping a thread.

If you haven't already done so, you should also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to CS. This thread is linked in there, too, as it The Photo Thread.
