                      Paging Unkel HBT (I like this spelling by Warfab better than Unkul),

                      Yeah the last two posts here are great additions:
                      TYP
                      GPSR
                      PVL
                      SNL (but you need an english translation)
                      LAU

                      Unkel why don't we update the 1st post with the latest list so that the first post is also the most updated

                      Suggestion only
