Ah yes, I remember being annoyed at reading "AFAIK" not long ago and wondering what the hell it meant, and why the guy writing it decided to compress what must be a paragraph into an acronym. Anyway, AFAIK = as far as I know, and FOTM is flavour of the month. FOTM is the phenomenon whereby some new audio miracle gets all the attention for a while, and everyone buys it and proclaims it as being the Best Thing Ever. Soon it's forgotten and replaced by the next FOTM, and the cycle repeats ad infinitum.
