TMV...as our acronym

Mar 1, 2006 4:58AM PST

I see that the initials "TMV" has made it to the forums as an accepted moniker for our lovely hosts... but its not made it's way into the podcast of people calling in.

I made the suggestion (via email) many months ago after hearing most everyone trip over their tongue trying to fit all those syllables in 10ms that everyone adopt the TMV acronym when calling in...I think it'd be easier
