Genie, I took the liberty of adding the definition of OEM, original equipment manufacturer. I have to admit I borrowed it from wikipedia.

For some reason I keep forgetting what HTFU and STFU mean, I do remember now and I wonder if we should have them in this section or not.

LOL, I think I saw them twice today on MV. Totally OK by me to leave them off, I'll just google it when I can't remember.

I obviously don't know how to use a Wiki. See my addendum to the acronym posting. You may want to delete it.
"Since there is now a Not-So-Modern (NSM) section should there not be an entry for New-Old-Stock (NOS)?" |

"Since there is now a Not-So-Modern (NSM) section should there not be an entry for New-Old-Stock (NOS)?" Generally, though, the idea is that you would actually modify the article to include the content you wanted added / changed, as if it was one of your own posts and you wanted to revise it. Changes are tracked automatically, so you can edit to your heart's content, and the article can always be reverted to a previous version if necessary. I've gone ahead and added an NOS entry to the article. |
