When you use a stupid acronym you save everyone's time and you sound like an idiot. No one is impressed you that you have 1 million posts in 4 months and can write an entire paragraph in acronyms that only 20 other people understand.

Btw., my favorite acronym is IRLM. A long time ago IBM created something they called an 'Information Management System' which quickly became known as IMS.

Some years later they made a new database system called DB2 and they needed a subsystem to control access to parts of the database. They snatched something from IMS and called it the 'IMS resource lock manager'. This - of course - became known as IRLM.

So the 'I' in IRLM is an abbreviation of another acronym.

I always thought the A in ASCII stood for ANSI. Now I learn it stands for American. *sad*
