Looking for canonical abbreviation list

[Oboe Cadobro]

When I first joined, I was delighted to find the Announcement page here that listed almost every abbreviation used by members, but now when I use that link, the page has changed, the list is quite short, and is missing a bunch of abbreviations...this is the only one I can find now:

http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/announcement.php?f=43&a=8

What happened to the other one I found before? A little help would be appreciated! :bowdown:

[Oboe Cadobro]

Really? No help? Maybe I need to email the moderator to find out...:frown:

You may have to. I can't find it either but one of the mods started a thread a few months ago regarding an updated abbreviation list. I think it was fishnbowljoe.
