68. Would it be so hard to give the actual name of the agency?

Really, many of us don't know specific agency initials. I could give many such, from previous jobs. And you'd have no clue what I might bew referring to. Just as in the header here: CBP? I do know JFK, but CBP?

Please, please, please, spell out what you intend to tell. Because most of us haven't a clue what you are referring to. Trust me on that. Please always tell us what you are referring to.

And I'm not just trashing you, but hoping a lot of DUers will see this and do a head smack and say, "Oh, yes, I'm sorry, let me explain this."
