Be careful Kevin, dont want to have to call you Kurt Plummer

OK, I give...what/who is a Kurt Plummer? It's late here, and I am
scratching
my head...

Brooks

Its kind of a joke now that he does not seem to post here anymore, but
his
postings seemed to be composed almost entirely of acronyms.

Those who have been here for a while will know who i am talking about.

Your post wasnt near as bad as his, I just saw an lot of acronyms and
thought
of him.

Gee, thanks Ron, you really know how to stroke a guy's ego... :-)
Messeur
Plummer apparently abdicated about the time I started participating in
the
group (nad no, damnit, that should *not* infer that I am him, or he is
me...).

I *usually* try to include the full nomenclature for any acronyms that
might
be unintelligible to the general, but militarily knowledgable, reader. I
think most folks here know what GMLRS and ATACMS are. That said, I
reread
that passage after I wrote it--it was not the acronyms that bothered me
so
much as the rather tortuous logic chain I was trying to contstruct. Not
one
of my better efforts, I'd agree. Mea culpa.

Kevin, it wasn't a problem, and the logic chain and acronynm use was fine.
Lots
of acronyms was just part of what made KP's posts so special. Here's a
tutorial
I once wrote, explaining how to read Kurt's posts:

LOL! Nice job. When are you going to come up with the complimentary "How to
Explain Simple Concepts to Henry Cobb"?
