Ponerology Book ?

I asked a bookshop here in Vienna to get the Ponerology book for me about by the middle of May, still know nothing.

It seems that the store never actually placed an order for the books.

Not to worry though, because our trusty Red Pill Press gang is getting it all straightened out today!

The bookstore had been in contact with RPP, but they had not yet officially placed the order. So they did know the name.

New reader here. I'm smothering in acronyms! I'm about to give up. An article is much more interesting when the terms are associated with the acronyms to be used. I spend too much time looking for their meanings. Will you advise?

This thread discusses many of the acronyms http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=1599&p=1

If there are more that are confusing you, just ask - it can be quite distracting and confusing at first , but don't give up. ;)
(not that I am a proponent of the use of acronyms, I find them distracting myself, but they seem to be everywhere these days)

You can also use the Cass Glossary to look up terms/acronyms that you might not be aware of

Thanks for bringing this up again. It reminds me that I got a request in Aug from one of the forum members for adding acronyms to the glossary. Personally, I don't think it is the right place since it adds some noise. It would be nice to have another link added to the forum menu (above) that lists the most commonly used ones. I looked at the punBB documentation, but it is so sparse that I don't know if that is easy to implement or not. If that is feasable, then I volunteer to get an acronyms page together. In fact, I will go ahead and create the page and host it myself until it is figured out where the proper place is.

Edit:
I made a page that lists most of the acronyms in this thread: http://www.laughingtick.com/sottfap.php

Please let me know which acronymes I should add. The page is not pretty but functional (my php is stale).
