Hello,

Probably one can add "BOSS" - Blogging Only Original Subjects"

I guess admin will be seriously looking at this series of blogs whether or not it should be retained.

It would have been nice if an article had been posted on how and where to search for such acronyms, specifically to SMS and net lingos..

Regards,
SERVICE TO ALL
