What do some of the abbreviations mean? For example:
YMMV
LMAO
IMHO
ROTLMAO
etc....

I've figured out a lot of them, but some leave me wondering. These are just some I can think of right now. Feel free to add more, would help me an dothers I'm sure.

btt - Back/Bounce To Top (used when posting to a thread to move it back up the list - used as an explanation.)

RTFM - Read the F****** Manual (usually used with derision, in response to simple questions.)

TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (from Robert Anson Heinliein, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.)

TANJ - There Ain't No Justice (from Larry Niven - "Ringworld.")

The last two are seen from time to time on boards - depending on content and demographics.
