How many times did you heard some initials (primarly used in IRC, but not only there) that you didn't know, how many times you asked "hey, what does this mean"? Quite a lot of time I felt this ignorance, so I've collected them all (ahem, all those I've heard of...), and I think that many people could find them useful. Well, I don't claim to cover all this universe (there will be a thousand of them!), but with your help this page can grow apace, just send me anything you think could be here, and I'll publish it immediatly :)
