_____________________________________________________________
* Note: Certain YAXAs, such as MIB and YAXA, are pluralized by
addingan "s" to the end; others, such as EIHPs and FIHPs are generally used
in the plural form, but are sometimes used in the singular (FIHP,EIHP). Yes, I
realize that these are not grammatically correct, and that when speaking you
wouldn't say "Man In Blacks," but this is the way they're written online. Hey,
language is weird, what can I say?:-)
* If anyone wants to either take credit for one of the YAXAs whose origin
is not noted, or correct their credit, drop me a note.
