Eh?

While I have been a Internet user for over 5 years, involved
on the periphery of Internet Marketing for a couple, and
lurking in this forum for months, I have no idea what the
previous post is really about. While I typically just
ignore the ones I don't understand, I'm concerned I might be
passing by ideas and tactics which might really benefit my
company.

I get a lot of value from the information everyone shares
here. Maybe this is just a stupid newbie perspective, but
without lessening the quality of information, would it be
possible to throw a little more explanation in for some of
the buzz words, phrases, and Jargon (for example, is UN the
United Nations? and what is an SPSC code?)
