This is a gentle rant with the purpose of making c99% more readable:
1. Illustrations so big they take over essays and bleed right to new essay list should be trimmed, for the sake of readability.
2. Acronyms are rampant on this site. I know maybe 5% of them and other readers might have the same problem. For the purpose of clarity, could essayists either stop using them, keep them to a minimum, or will OPOL please provide a list that readers can refer to?

I used to write stuff like this at the Dreaded Orange Shitcan..well, I'll be writing them here instead. My only regret is that my followers over there won't know about it. And I'm still on 30 day suspension there so I can't let them know. In any case, shall we begin?
