I have been on various forums back when the internet was local BBS boards and remember loading the first version of AOL on a 386PC, and a couple things I have noticed recently that bother me is people using acronyms for names of places, groups or even the names of planes. A couple of recent examples, Someone was looking for a gate guard plane for the VWoC, just for fun, I did a search on VWoC, and I got places like this
http://volkswagenownersclub.com/vw/http://www.victoryworldoutreachcenter.org/It was not until I did a search using VWOC, AIR MUSEUM that I found this
http://www.vintagewings.ca/ and even that was on page 2.
This was just posted on the thread about the most authentic Mustang
>Forgive the newbie question...but which one is HJGB?<
The planes name was Happy Jack's Go Buggy, is it that much more time to spell it out ? Do you get charged by the letter when you post ?
Why do posters make it hard for new readers to learn about what we enjoy and do ?
Another thing is when someone asks a question, and someone replies, Oh check with XYZ company, they have it, is it that much harder to post a link to XYZ company web site ? you answered the question and probably have the link all ready saved.
Rant off,
