Yes Jonathan you have made some valuable points.

The only one I want to add regarding the use of abbreviations is this:

1. Being a Professional forum one would be expected to know / learn the etiquette ( hope I spelled it right! ). And learning is fast for a real professional when chided - no harm in that. His ego is being addressed.

2. English not being the native language of all members here, abbreviations can make life tough. Accepted one still can make out - but why the circus ? When you can simply read and understand straight when it is written full?

I fully endorse your view of ignoring rubbish posts from jokers like Stupid Devloper and such. The Zero replies should put things in perspective for that guy whoever it is.

Merry Christmas.
