Default Acronyms
Hi
As a relative newbie to the hobby i am seeing a lot of acronyms kicking about. I have been able to work out what most of them stand for but there is one that is stumping me just now and it is BCC. I know it is boa constictor something but I was hoping someone could fill in the something part.
Thanks
