Agrees, quite often I have to get all the CDs out and go throught them to see what they stand for. Its even worse with the new album as I have'nt got it yet so its no use!

Abbreviating a title to its initial letters can be useful, but there comes a point where a different abbreviation is easier to understand. For exampler, 'Tolerate' is easier to type and understand that IYTTYCWBN.

That's because they're made up, which I'd say negates the argument somewhat unless nobody managed to work out SKON without having to pause for thought.

But we should still try to come up with titles for those three abbreviations anyway.

as far as people using initials go, DFK, DFC really. if they don't want me or anyone else to know what they're talking about, fine really, seems a bit of a waste of energy to post each to their own.
