rof120 is on a distinguished road
AA or AA?

I fear we all forgot a wonderful example of AA. I am the main culprit: stupid rof120.

Did you ever hear of AA in a war? I guess so. It means anti-aircraft (defenses, guns, fire...) not Anonymous Alcoholics or some. Nobody ever suggested to change this abbreviation.

Did you ever change it into something else because of alcohol? Why not At-Act?

I am aware of the Swedish Systembolaget, the state network of shops which has a monopoly for selling any alcohol in Sweden including beer and wine - and rather expensively. So you poor Stig are unhappy and frustrated, and think that any AA must have a connection to alcohol. In France and certainly in many other countries they also have a big problem with alcohol but luckily in spite of this they don't change their air force into a society of alcoholics, which wouldn't be ideal would it.
