Acronyms: was Should beginners work with WSL?

[Mark E. Fuller]

I'm new here, but I find LMGTFY and similar responses (like RTFM) to be 
generally unwelcome and inappropriate. Whether or not they are part of 
the culture of a listserv or forum, I do not respond in that manner for 
the simple reason that if I have time to respond, then I have time to 
respond constructively.
