My going nowhere movement to ban YMMV

[RichGem]

your actual distance traveled to fuel consumption ratio may be at variance with mine.

So in order to avoid using the phrase, which I agree tends to be annoying, I will join the campaign, but only long enough to add a disclaimer to all I post.

this guy, see this guy here. He get's it.

uh, ok, but YEMYDR (your experience may yield different results)

I will let you know right up front... I read the first post and went to the last page to post. I would agree to end the YMMV but there are people that will jump the gun if someone says this product is great or performs well. I think it is also needed to provide a buffer against posts that clearly state things so ridiculous that the only polite thing to say is your methods may vary. Telling them the truth about having a cabbage for a brain doesn't go over well and may get you demerits from the mods.

 

[Btheis]

Well shoot, all this time I thought it meant your masterbation may vary.... I was with you until the true meaning was brought to light.

How about, BWTFDIK instead?

I have to admit the excessive use of acronyms can be both annoying and difficult for the New Guy.

This response however, was priceless!

 

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

I think SepticTank's long legal disclaimer should be followed in by...


...again BWTFDIK

I can see a day where in order to avoid using one commonly accepted although obnoxious and over used acronym, we each have our own acronyms, threads are more annoying to detangle, and nobody GAF about *** we are saying anymore.. Then again, it would all be secret code to defend us against they prying eyes of SWMBO (another acronym that should be changed.... TPWWMMLMIDNDWSW - The Person Who Will Make My Life Miserable If I Do Not Do What She Wants) but then again.... WTFDIK

John, dont encourage these shenanigans.

Eeeevil shenanigans!

But it's still in wiktionary.!!

 

[infotech]

Ya gotta have YMMV. otherwise you get snippy remarks from other posters that think different than you and chastise you for not using "YMMV", "IMO", "To me", etc.

The funny thing is, this site is just one big opinion. There are few "facts" posted on this site.. We shouldn't have to use it, but the fact is we do.

It should have been preceeded by "IANAL, but"

Then again, it would all be secret code to defend us against they prying eyes of SWMBO (another acronym that should be changed.... TPWWMMLMIDNDWSW - The Person Who Will Make My Life Miserable If I Do Not Do What She Wants) but then again.... WTFDIK

Lately I've been pushing the acronym TWGW (The World's Greatest Wife) I mean really, you can't believe the crap she puts up with.

Then again WTHGASWIT?
