Taizeniki 0 Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) LOL! I wonder what it is about the "sumo" name/concept that attracts repeated acronym usage? Sometimes I'm sure it is accidental, but other times it seems the originators "stretch" to make it fit. Edited March 17, 2005 by Taizeniki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted March 25, 2005 I know whenever I have a long project or system name, I try to rearrange it so that its acronym is catchy of funny. It's good to see I'm not alone ;) BTW, I've read the MIT thesis mentioned above, it's quite good. I'm writing my own at the moment. It has nothing to do with sumo or sport, but maybe I'll sneak it a fun acronym or reference... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
