How many times will we see these threads?

I am letting this run only because this is in community discussions. Next time, search forums before creating new threads.

Well Krow bhai, I felt the need of such a thread as even now I am confused with few acronyms. You should sticky one thread. The thread by vaibhavtek looks lot better than mines. Sticky one thread.
I wont expect any new member to use TDF search just for acronyms.
