How patronizing of you.

Once again, let me rattle off the reasons why you're wrong:

1. Google isn't a mind-reader. There are probably lots of things called
   "RIA".

2. Why should I have to go to extra effort to understand a post, instead
   of the author going to extra effort to be easily understood?

3. Duplication of effort: the writer saves a few keystrokes and maybe ten
   seconds of his time. Meanwhile everyone else loses whole minutes, to
   either asking for clarification and waiting for a response or starting
   a browser, waiting ages for it to appear and become fully responsive,
   doing a search, and then trying to interpret the results to come up
   with a best guess as to what might have been meant.

4. At the end of which, each reader has exactly that: a guess. While the
   poster knows FOR SURE what was meant and so would everyone else if he
   just said so.

5. The author will be way better OFF learning to express himself for
   maximum understandability, NOT maximum conciseness.

Thank you.
