Abbreviations on posts

[Audreysdaughter]

I am a newbie to this site and also to RVing. I was reading a topic about campers bill of rights. There were so many abbreviatios. (E.g. CG). Which I got as campground. But many I did not get. Is there a guide to these abbreviations? It was confusing to me. Appreciate any help!

Not that my empathy will help you figure out what any of the letters stand for, but I'm with you. Acronyms drive me crazy.
