ISAGN for a HPFGU code (along the lines of the geek code). Then everyone
can state their position concisely, plus it allows for strength of
conviction. For example, say S stands for Ship, then someone who really
wants a HH ship could have S+++HH, whereas someone who is a non-shipper
could have S---. Another one (based on a question in the obsession quiz),
could be $, for how much money you've blown on HP stuff.

Since I'm the one who suggested it, I suspect I'll be lumbered with
getting it up and going.  Anyway, I'm new to this group, so I don't know
half of the acronyms (and I have read the shorthand guide, they're not
in there) ... could people please reply back with all the membership
acronyms they know, and their expansion (and what they mean would probably
help to).

[note to list admins - should this be moved to OT-Chatter?]
