Need help with abbreviations!

I see by the number of my posts I'm now a Jr. Member,but I think I'll forever be a newbie because,let's face it,as living creatures,fish have individual personalities..and while someone might learn over time certain basic tenets of rearing aquarium fish,getting to know a fish's individual likes and dislikes is not unlike striking up new friendships and maintaining them through knowing what enhances or ends them...That being said,the newbie in me wants to become familiar with several of the terms you use here,such as LFS..NSLFS..IFC..etc..........help??

Re: Need help with abbreviations!

I've been wondering about all them too. thanks Boxermom (and Richard for asking!)

I was looking at that list and just reading this one made me laugh, don't know why. I think I'm just having a good day and happy all my exams are over at school. LOL.

Re: Need help with abbreviations!

This is probably a stupid question, but, what is Prodigy?

No, not stupid. It was AOL before there was an AOL. Similar sort of thing in the early days.

Re: Need help with abbreviations!

Oh right. I was just wondering. I'm on AOL. Was it just called something different before?

Re: Need help with abbreviations!

No, it was a different service, just sorta similar. It was owned by Sears for awhile I believe. This was way back when the internet was just going public, in the very early '90s.
