It was a random thought that just came to me. I think it would help out a lot of the newer investors if BP had some kind of dictionary, something similar to WIKI I guess. Where we could go in and define what many RE words and abbreviations mean for people who are new to the game. This would be totally driven by the BP users, but I think it would cut down on a lot of the "what does this mean?" and "I don't understand..." questions. It would also be a lot easier to search than looking through random posts about the topic hoping someone actually defines it (and properly).

@Brandon Turner, I do mean something like that. The only issue is that even as a long time user I had no idea that existed. Not to nit pick because I do appreciate the site and business you are running, but it would be really helpful if the submission process could be streamlined, the link for that was easier to find (possibly posted somewhere in your face on the welcome to BP/newbies page), and if it was made into a searchable format because once the number of defined words grows it will take forever to search anything. I know all the changes that I just suggested cost money and take man hours but I think that it would be a huge benefit for the new people on here.

Thank you for responding so promptly.
