Want the DVD? Or the BR Game? Don't know which books or music to get? Maybe you'd like a Deckard action figure? Make sure you check the BR Related section for all your BR choices.

 

There are a number of 'acronyms' that are in common usage on the newsgroups, (and e-mail, IRC, etc.). They are mostly there to quickly convey the intent of the writer. As with all jargon, if the reader does not understand what it means, the communication fails. So, we would humbly suggest that if you use an acronym not on the following "Most Common" list, that you should ask whether your readers will understand what you are saying. (Unless that is the point? - as in IITYWIMIWHTKY).
