To be honest, I do try to keep up with you guys. But with all the initialized names used nowadays, I can no longer understand a lot of posts, and spend more time trying to figure out the abbreviation than absorbing the article.

I will second the motion. My career was filled with acronyms, and it even got to the absurdity that a single acronym would stand for over a dozen separate meanings. So the etiquette is to unwrap the acronym the first time it is used, if it is used more than once (and not to use it, except parenthetically, if it is used only once).
