@PostalTom, it's quite alright. You all see things we don't. 

Let me clarify, in order to see the definition of an acronym, just hover your cursor over any text with double underlines. The acronym definition will appear. Give it a try at the acronyms in this topic. 

 

EDIT: Or better yet here you go.

HVAC

BF

SCMS

DF

 

OEF

OIF

 

Just to name a few.

    Got it.  Thanks John.  Now that you  point that out, I think I actually saw that, but didn't realize what I was looking at.  Senior moment, I guess.  Those are happening all too frequently.  Thanks again.
