Not to contradict Mr. Cumbow, but I think below it was
an abreviation for Just My Opinion.
Similar abreviations used onthe list include, but are
not limited to:
IANAL : I am not a lawyer
IMHO : In my humble (or honest) opinion
LOL : Laugh out loud (not used on this list too often)
There are complete websites dedicated to these sorts
of abreviations - surf around and you'll be amazed.
