I was at the web site yesterday and saw that there is a list of all these acronyms and more,why didn't you just tell me?

OT I also noticed you live in Monticello, Minnesota. I did some work in Monticello in the early 2000's. I did some PLC programming for a unit in your municipal sewage treatment plant.
