A plea from a newbie re acronyms
Is there any way that you good people could put explain acronyms in full just once in the first post for us newbies?
I have found some posts for example - 'CPA for Newbies' which as a newbie attracted me. People on there were raving about how good CPA is and some products they recommended to help but every link I went on didn't explain what CPA was. I'd like to know more but if it just said 'Company Policy Aggregate [or what on earth it stands for](CPA) for Newbies', I could then do a search on Google or whatever to find out what it is exactly before I then go on to find products to help me do it. I don't even know if it's something I'm interested in yet I've spent about 20 minutes trying to find out what it is.
It is the same with everything else in the forum - I understand why acronyms are used but when you are new and nothing makes sense, it makes your research take 10 times longer.
I hope you don't mind me mentioning it
