I'm lost on some of the abbreviations that are used. Could someone give me a little direction on this?

SFGA2001- I think the H is for humble, but I'm not sure. I'm kinda lost in all the abbreviations too!

No offense, but isn't this in a FAQ section, and if not WHY ISN'T IT JEFF? ;)

Where is FAQ?

I don't think this site has a FAQ section. If there is one, I don't know where it is. (As I've said before, I'd be glad to help with creating it if Jeff & Co. want to go forward with it.)

Can somebody get the URL to the r.r-c FAQ? It has a pretty extensive list of coaster-related abbreviations.
