We all could understand the discussions better if participants used English (or their native language) and not acronyms. Thanks. While I do kind of live here as someone downthread mentioned, I've never seen WFM applied to me before--I've seen it, and thought it was something like wead the fn manual. (read with a slight lisp). Nonetheless, even though I don't actively participate--I do read the group thoroughly a few times a month and always when an update comes up--I'm so glad the group is here and I thank profusely the volunteers who keep it going and the volunteers/devs who spend their time on SM.
