Folks,
Am I right that IC stands for instant creation? Is it the same as YEC
(Young Earth Creation) or does it differ in subtle ways. I was just
reading a few of Bert's posts and responses on the archives and I
noticed it was full of acronyms. I also noticed that none of them were
defined the first time. I knew ID, MN (and TE YEC, PC that were not
mentioned). IC threw me for a loop and got me to wondering if we should
not be a bit more careful and give the definition the first time we use
an acronym. AND could we try and snip most of the other persons long
post when we reply to it so I don't have to go through a page before I
read your response.
Even some that we think EVERYONE knows our acronyms, even a common one
like TE may be Greek to someone who doesn't read all the posts. A
friend listens in on the acg list and it took him several posts to to
realize what TE is.
I will blind copy this to my friend. I would cc it but that would put
his e-mail out publicly on the net (through the archives) and he might
start getting X-rated spam like I do.
