Most people aren't familiar with Lemmi's moderator and don't know its
abbreviations.  I've actually seen the program running once which
probably puts me in a somewhat exclusive rarefied group.  The vast
majority of the people I play with have never even heard of it.  I
would think the two letter abbreviations that are used throughout the
game components (stock market, tokens, shares, etc) would be a much
better choice.
