NoshowJones Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The W on KT could be incorrect it could be "Win on Koh Tao", and Win is a name To the OP. I have already had my say on this, I am quite new to this "pub" thread, anyway, using initials in IMO, sorry, in my opinion is just pure laziness, unless the words have already been written on the particular post. It frustrates me, and it has even caused me to leave the topic altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just imagine, if you had a user name as "WheredoicomefromWhoamiandWhatiamdoinghere" you would also address him as WWW. And they do exist those names......don't be surprised. Gees, Costas, with a user name like that, imagine the time it would take you to sign in, I am the only user of my computer, and have ticked it to allow me to be permanantly signed in to Thaivisa, Even then I am still asked to sign in sometimes. there are some members with long user names like Withawata something.

I've been called Cost us Costos Carlos Costs and others......can't remember now. How about Costafortune? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 SB i sughest you look at TGAU and GERU. The WSAS will help you MRT - I suggest you use a SC and GC next time you post a comment! SC would be chortling with glee if he had a work trip to the GC. Maybe an opportunity to take a ride on one of the new Bombardiers. My mate Z bin AR worked on them - in the tender phase only Enough, already <deleted>! Too many CAPS - the Mods will be complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 The thing is, SB, usually the abbreviation is specific to the thread, so everyone who's reading the thread usually knows to whom the poster is referring. It would baffle everyone if I posted about 'SB's post" in another thread, particularly as "SB" is probably a well-known poster on TV in general. Most people know JT, UG, maybe NMS and D48 and HJC, but less well known people such as yourself and me, get abbreviated too SM or SS only in the thread in which we are having discourse. Don't fret it, just follow the thread and "get it". I agree that by following the thread, you can usually get to know to whom the poster/replies is/are referring, but for instance I have been following the thread, and I still don't know for sure who " W on KT" or G.M.H" are! If the poster applied the method of "initially" using the full name, and any subsequent reusing of that name in an initial in brackets then we would all know who or what he was referring to e.g. Win (W) on Koh Tao (KT) By the way, any ideas on G.M.H - George Hemingway perhaps? Or Grievous Mental Harm? P.S. I like your poetic last line! Let me guess...You're British? Correcto! And let me guess - you're from the US of A?
