<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I would like to politely make a request of anyone posting conference information. If the conference name has an acronym, please spell out the full conference name at the beginning of the announcement. That way, anyone who doesn't already know
the acronym can have some idea of what it is, and if they should look into it. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Some people posting conference information might think, "anyone who doesn't already know the acronym for our conference, doesn't need to know." At least, that seems to be the implicit assumption of the numerous conference postings that only
give their acronyms throughout the entire posting. However, I am guessing that most, or many, conferences aspire to bring in new members and presenters, sometimes even from outside of their normal group of members. Such new members or presenters can bring
interesting new perspectives. So, it certainly can't hurt to spend the extra 1-3 seconds it takes to type out the full name of the conference at the top of the message.

<div>Just a thought.</div>
