IMHO, BTW etc.

[Ken Howe]

Georg,

I recently became a Netter (person who participates in Network
discussions) and had to figure out what these strange abbreviations
meant.  Here are a few definitions:

IMO: in my opinion

IMHO: in my humble opinion

IMMHO: in my most humble opinion

IMVMHAUO: in my very most humble and unsolicited opinion (just kidding-
I made this one up)

BTW: by the way

BTU: British thermal unit

Of course there are others, but I can't seem to think of them right now.
Perhaps someone else might post a few of them.

Hope this has been helpful.
