Sorry, I pulled a fast one here.  The last three of those are from other
areas of interest (not FRP).  NADWAS is the North American Doctor Who
Appreciation Society.  TEfL is the title of a book by Robert Heinlein, "Time
Enough for Love".  TGatEoF is the name of a Star Trek episode (they love
abbreviations over in net.startrek), "The Guardian at the Edge of Forever".
(Notice, I misspelled it in the original message.

I agree about this!  It would definitely interesting and useful.  I will
volunteer to collect and tabulate the list, if you would send mail to me
with lists of abbreviations.  Sound like a good idea?
