When used in the Classified Forum, the three above mean that your original asking price was too high. Smiler

Just to fill your evening with even more useless crap, technically none of those you mentioned are acronyms. An acronym has to be a pronounceable word (like NATO, UNICEF or radar). Things like IBM, UPS and USA are more correctly called initialisms.

Terry

Now, if you really want to stir the pot -

CRF - controlled round fee

PF - push feed

These are usually used in an conjunction with a long thread/argument over which is best. Ho hum...

i love the 45-70 but would only use it for animals up to brown bear. just dont use 45-70 and d.g (dangerous game) in the same sentance unless you want 5 pages of bragging moaning flaming and pissing.

FYI - Geez, is that an acronym or an initialism?

Main Entry: ini·tial·ism
Pronunciation: i-'ni-sh&-"li-z&m
Function: noun
: an acronym formed from initial letters

Main Entry: ac·ro·nym
Pronunciation: 'a-kr&-"nim
Function: noun
Etymology: acr- + -onym
: a word (as NATO, radar, or snafu) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also : an abbreviation (as FBI) formed from initial letters : INITIALISM

Methinks an initialism is a type of acronym.

But Hell, I'm from Texas - What do I know? :-)

If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.
