I am reminded that many years ago the electronics field lost a truly historic acronym when the abbreviation for the Traveling Wave Amplifier Tube was deemed inappropriate.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction in stolen goods. - H.L. Mencken
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. - Mark Twain

I have seen the terms "double D" and "triple D," but never "DDD." Is that for people who can't spell "triple"?
