Not sure what forum this would belong on - but as the prolific [pedantic - ed.] eh? Doctor X coined a new cyber-acronym on these pages - a thread with a few "faves" could be in order.
Since it is he who sparked the idea - his goes first:
Collapse-of-Civilization-as-We-Know-it [COCAWKI.--Ed.]
Another one I figured out after some serious pondering - courtesy of the Big Cat:
IANAL - I Am Not A Lawyer (?) (Correct me if I'm wrong please!)
A few others just for fun - feel free to add your own personal favorites:
ROTFL Rolling On The Floor Laughing
ROTFLMAO (The "Don of Uechi-ryu"'s personal Favorite)
IMO In My Opinion
IMHO In My Humble Opinion
IMNSHO In My Not So Humble Opinion
Someone made one about some kind of pond scum one time - anyone remember that one?
Any others you like?

Lori,
Again your talents as translator have been most helpful!
I have not had too much trouble figuring out most of the acronyms but a few were driving me crazy. (This cyber speak can be quite confusing for those of us new to computers!)
ROTFL and ROTFLMAO were the two that really had me wondering.
Good idea to post a translation for those of us not in the know!

Hay there!
I don't know where I have been. You know how it is. You get busy doing stuff and then you don't know where the time went.
Summer is basicly over and the fall depression sets in.
Can't seem to get myself organized or motovated. Most people get the winter blues,I seem to get the fall blues. I think I need a fall activity to become obsessed with to carry me through to snowboard season. 
I am looking forward to Winterfest in Orlando though. Looks like Mary and I will be able to make the migration south to hang with you guys for a few days.
Can't wait to see you all.
I'll try to get more involved and add my $.02 worth when I can,but I can assure you ,no one gets tired of hearing your opinions! Take care,
Lori M-D

Correct... There's also:
BTW By the way
ROTFLOL Rolling on the floor laughing out loud.
(can be combined with ROTFLMAO to make ROTFLMAOOL!)
YMMV Your mileage may vary
The good doctor's is a variation of the classic:
TEOTWAWKI The end of the world as we know it
(made popular by the Y2K survivalist crowd)
FWIW For what it's worth
IANALNDIPOOTV I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV
(there are lots of variations around the same theme...)
