I recall doing this when I first used WATE although I wasn't the first to use it. I'm quite sure that Mark saw that post but I believe that he suffers from CRS so each time it's used it's like the first time. Also Mark is so good at creating new acronyms from old subjects the original meaning is lost in the telling.
