acronym annoyance
Dan,
Please stop using the initials GP in news items. First thing: nobody normally knows what it stands for. Second thing: you've used it for both Gamer's Pulse and Gamer's Post recently (so it is non-unique). Third thing, it is my username.

I saw some acronym earlier on today used in a thread and I didn't have a clue what it was, never seen it before.
To be honest with you IHNSSARA

The news item should read:
"Civ3: Win a copy from Vincent Fandango"
but I already did that.

GP (Great Post) GP! Hey, I can understand the confusion. It isn't always obvious what GP stands for, even were it not for our friend GP adding to the mix. On GP (General Principles) I wouldn't use GP except to refer to GP.

Reasons 2 and 3, Markie.
I bit my tongue the first time. But it's becoming a pattern. Are you going to use my initials when you post my column? Or the long form?
