DP = Data Point
DW / DH = Dear Wife / Dear Husband
ETA = Edited to Add
IB = Interactive Brokers or Investment Bank
OD / OM = Office Depot / OfficeMax
OP = Original Post or Poster (first post or its’ author)
SO = Significant Other

Change them however you see fit. I havent touched them after the original post. Or must I approve them somehow as the thread creator? Sorry.

I also don’t know how the wiki actually works. Maybe we were both editing the OP at the same time and I hit publish and then you did?

The edit history is in there. I’ll see if I can revert it once I’m at a real computer.
