    You may have a valid point. I will go immediately to the dictionary.

    Yes, it was there and I found a couple. For instance:
    Texas Infectious Disease Society
    or
    Travel Industry Designator Service,

    or
    Acronym Definition
    TIDS Travel Industry Designator Service

    TIDS Tactical Information Distribution System

    TIDS Tactical Integrated Digital System

    TIDS Triggers and Targeted Injury Detection Systems (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality)

    TIDS Tower Integrated Display System

    TIDS Trident Integrated Data System

    TIDS Tantra-Induced Delusional Syndrome

    TIDS Tactical Information Display System

    TIDS Tracking ID Server

    Can I speak to any of these? Let's see. No, afraid not. Yes I can! It's the first one, the infectious diease one.
    Ypou probable wouldn't want to know about it and really, I don't like repeating the story. I'll just pass.

    An Omsquig is exactly the same thing as an "R.C.H.", one of those terms I sorely wish Gary Ridenhour was still around for, to describe it for you, because I dare not!
