Thanks! I get that if you don't already know the acronym, you're not the audience, but it is helpful to not have to search externally for a reference. Could you imagine if that was in a general programming magazine before global internet search engines were popular? You'd have to cross your fingers that your local encyclopedia has an entry! ETA: My bad - I did not think to click that. Embarrassing. Thanks for pointing it out!
