- . . . Something I also frequently demand on many newsgroups.
-
- But the need to say things like this so frequently is
- tiresome, especially as the clueless and gullible products
- of the US educational system and popular culture are spewed
- onto the net.
-
- Usenet has evolved a number of acronyms to reduce typing
- time and needed bandwidth such as BTW (by the way), FOAF
- (friend of a friend), IMHO (in my humble opinion), and
- RTFM (read the manual), to name a few.
-
- IMHO, we should develop an acronym for the above sentiment,
- something like NUCWE (no unusual claims without evidence)
- or RNFSC (references needed for strong claims) or simply RP
- (references please)? But I find these a bit awkward.
- Any suggestions for something simple, clear, and catchy?
