Is that MIL-STD, or is it the civilian variety?

Seriously, though, I doubt that anyone will snicker at your VD problem if
you don't make a big thing of it yourself.

There are too many acronyms/initialisms around these days for any of them to
have much emotional content. Don't waste any more time worrying about it.

By the way, why are you printing document numbers in 12-point type?  ...RM
