It is agreed-upon best practice _not_ to use those abbreviations on the general user list. Because it is disingenuous to play guessing games with unsuspecting beginning users. Personally, I consider it also a turnoff on the developer list, but at least on this list, we agreed on not using unexplained abbreviations. It was likely an oversight in Graham's initial posting (he probably, judging from the replies, is not even aware that "LM" is not self-explanatory on _this_ list, or that he used it here), but then everybody and his dog jumps in barking at the newcomer who did not understand Graham's absolutely cryptic remark (imagine not being into lilypond-devel slang and try reading any sense into it), giving him the full "unpaid volunteers, scurvy dog" treatment. Get real. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
