Hi All;
Some would say that there are far too many acronyms in use these days.
Even the Rocket Mass Heater world is not exempt from them, (RMH, CFB, IFB)
Today, I read what could be the most important RMH construction acronym there is, or possibly ever will be!
The WAF factor is in fact, the deciding reason for many to build or not build the RMH they always dreamed of!
What is this powerful acronym?
Where did it come from?

WAF  is The Wife Acceptance factor!  
If your wife does not approve... come up with a new plan!
This could be modified to be a HAF (husband) SOAF (significant other)or even LAF (landlord).
We may never know who first uttered these prophetic words.
But, truer words have never been spoken!

Perhaps we need a softer, more empathetic and nurturing acronym to promote WAF.

So if men are from MARS (Mass Augmented Rocket System) ... where are women from?

Well, we would need to add an "H" making it  WAFH
Women are from heaven.

Indeed yes, good sir. You have learned much in your years!

(And for anyone hungry for apples, note the technique of the master! LOL! )

I was sort of angling for a VENUS acronym that speaks of our warm and welcoming and earth-friendly heating systems. But I'm drawing a blank. Wrong arrangement of chromosomes I guess. Any ideas? (I'm probably digging a hole here, but Thomas started it.)
