I never knew what KOKO was and never got around to ask anyone. Now I know thanks for the abbreviations lesson.

Well I'm ASSUMING that's what it means since Mike often signs off with it or just Keep On.

Thanks for posting this - I felt like I was trying to decipher a new language!  NAD0 was pretty easy for me, but I could not figure SINAO out.  🙂
