Hi Maurits,

Most of these are slang, or at best, idiomatic expressions.  Let me know if
you want an explaination.

One of the high points in my life, as a teenager, was when my father, a
native German who moved to American just before I was born, sat me down one
evening when I was about 14 years old :-), and asked: What does "Fuck" mean?
He had heard it used around the office a few times and was naturally
curious.

For What It's Worth

> ETKA
German, for Electronic Parts Catalog Application
Also referred to as the "Family Album" on the Quattro List.

> IMHO
In My Humble Opinion

> IME
In My Estimation

> BTDT
Been There, Done That

> BTDTNDIA
I am guessing here: Been There, Done That; Not Doing It Again
I have done a few of these in my life :-)

> HTH
Happy To Help, or Hoping To Help

> TIA
Thanks In Advance

> AFAIK
As Far As I Know

You should also know YMMV
Your Mileage May Very (that is, your results may be different than mine, but
here is what I saw...)

Best,
