Hi, I'm a new user who has been lurking lately and I was wondering if there was some kind of dictionary that defines the common acronyms used around here? I'm not referring to general internet acronyms like LOL and such, but stuff like EU=Expanded Universe and such. I've been exploring the site and haven't come across anything like that so far.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks. You know, immediately after I posted my original message I found the stickified thread at the top with the acronym link in it. So, sorry for my newbie mistake there.

While we're at it, what exactly do NDF and ECM stand for?
Thanks!

Again, thanks for the kind responses. I'm glad someone else found the acronym dictionary through my thread, that way I feel like I accomplished something and didn't just waste bandwidth!

ECM = electronic countermeasures.
All I remember about NDF is that N stands for nadion.

NDF is Nuclear Disruption Force (or something to that effect), which is supposedly the way phasers vaporize stuff without actually vaporizing it.
ECM is Electronic CounterMeasures, less formally known as 'jamming'.
