Above is the email with the abbreviations (that
are by the way both fully correct and correctly
used).

Please always quote the email that you are
commenting on or you are asking about, so as
to save others time.

Please consider that it should take you not
more than 10 minutes to find and quote the
correct message, but when all 500 subscribers
have to go find the original mail and spend
say 5 minutes on it, it takes us a total of
just over 40 hours or about one working week,
which is quite a waste.

And by the way (notice how I do not write 'BTW' ;-),
I think we should try to use as few abbreviations
as possible. Only use the very common ones like
CPU, DRAM, SRAM, ROM, EPROM, etc. that everyone
on this list knows or should know.

Please consider that the time you save by using
an abbreviation is usually less than 1% of the
total message that you write but it can cause
a lot of unclearity to a lot of people and that
costs much more. And please never go inventing
abbreviations. Abbreviations only work (just
like humor ;-) when most of your public
understands them.

And in case you don't understand a common
electronics abbreviation used on this mailing
list, here are my chipdir overviews of
abbreviations:

and
