Way cool!

Some acronyms to add: 
OT - "Off Topic", the most-used acronym on this list (I think)
PWBTC - "Patches will Be Thoughtfully Considered" (I think you have the

WJM - "We're Just Mean"

I've added it to my bookmarks - this will revolutionise the terseness of 
Email-future! (or perhaps not..)
