    I'm horrible with acronyms, and besides, what the hell is RTFM? The only
    one I know that comes close is ROTFLMAO, which is not a 4LA. Anyway, I
    ain't got a clue what DBFS is.

    It is said that Harvard runs on TLA's. And to a large extent, so does any
    bureaucracy require the jargon of its torpidity.
