Common knowledge Q's

I see alot of acronyms that I don't understand. For example, IMO, DIY, and various others. What do these mean? I know this may be common knowledge, but I'm not realy a big computer guy.

Re: Common knowledge Q's

since you may see this, going to other forums...

troll: someone who comes in and makes inflammitory statements to piss people off.

flame: a post which is off topic, making fun of/yelling at a previous poster. i.e.- "brad's a [bleep]ing ricer and a wanker, and his mum's a tart"
