There's probably a webpage up somewhere that will give you all the
usenet/email shorthand (now spilled over into and expanded on by the 
world of text messaging).  Well...probably a horde of them plus a

OK. These were the top of the stack when when I googly'd for AFAIK,

James, YOYO (you're on your own) FHOO (from here on out) and YMMV (your

Some of it is pretty obvious, some of obscure. HTH (hope that helps).
