[Coral-List] please define acronyms

[Douglas Fenner]

Hi everybody,
    Could people please define their acronyms in their messages?  These messages go out all over the world to people of many different countries, many of whom do not have English as their native language, many of whom do not work in your area of science or in your government, and so many of us will not know what your acronyms are.  Please be merciful to us, and define the acronyms.  Many thanks!
