Is there any way to create a thread limited to just one sticky that everyone can edit? That way, whenever anyone has an acronym they'd like to contribute, they can simply insert it into the single-post sticky in alphabetical order.

I'll begin:


NASA - National Aeronautical and Space Administration
RAF - Royal Air Force
USAF - United States Air Force
...

On second thought, can you just create a sticky containing a link to Mark Bradford's Frequently Seen Space/Astronomy Acronyms page?

I still think we should spell them out the first time they're used in a thread, though... It's only a little extra effort, but it goes a long way.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.
