YID

I was just proposing the we use YID (the reverse of DIY) since DIY has been used in many posts in the past without reference to actual instructions in many posts.
The actual term used could be anything and I would agree with Engatwork that KISS is a great principle. There are many great posts int he past by some of the very knowledgable folks here that would qualify but they are sometimes very hard to find when searching on a particular subject.

The issue is not what acronym is used but that it be consistant if possible such that a "newbie" or seasoned wrencher can search for these threads.

heck maybe some of the old hands can even go back and find their original posts and repost them with this acronym. I know that some questions keep coming up on a fairly reguilar basis and I think some of the folks kind of get tired of answering the same question so this could be a way around that...

Jim, Should we do a poll on the term to use and give it a shot?

Anyone with an idea for the titles (I think acronym prefered) throw them out and we can try a poll to see if anything sticks.
