Among TGP owners, a TGP is a TGP, not a gallery.

Popular usage among people who aren't experienced at the game doesn't make it correct.

I'm just trying to save people embarrassment. I assure you, among TGP owners the two are not the same.

I understand your point. Do you understand mine?
I do understand your point Bill, but who writes the rules?

It's my understanding of the english language rules, that any term or acronym that has wide usage becomes a word.

Mabye TGP started out as Thumb Gallery Post, but as with everything in this biz, things change.

This is not a big deal to me at all, I don't care at all one way or the other, but if the newbies out number the owners 10:1 and all newbies call galleries TGP's, I'd say they're TGP's as well as galleries
