	I note with interest that Admin awarded me 5 OT points (I had to add 5 more to check that I hadn't done it in error). I think it's a bit off, as no topic has been specified by the OP, other than requesting the meaning of and difference between the two acronyms (in which respect my reply was definitely on topic). __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	IA= internet addict. PA= possible internet addict. and finally NA= non-internet addict. Gee, sure hope this doesn't get marked OT, or I'll have to cite my internet source.

	Alright, dammit. How can my answer be OT? Here's my source. Internet Over-Users' Psychological Profiles: A Behavior Sampling ... So, there you have it.

	As we don't have a "topic" (other than as pointed out above), any reply giving possible meanings of the acronyms is on topic with respect to the OP. Yours is particularly apt. I therefore neutralize that OT (awarded by person unknown) with a GA. PS Perhaps you should submit your definitions of PA and IA to The Free Dictionary for completeness. __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	Thank you for righting that wrong. I cast my non-OT vote for your #1 post earlier.

	OP's other question was about pipe diameters. Maybe IA is for internal area and PA for perimeter area or whatever. __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto

	Good one Hendrik I notice in the title, it's Ia and Pa Might be Ia is average current and given Pa is Pascals, field could be pressure transducers. __________________ There is no sin except stupidity. (Oscar Wilde, Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900))

	More stealth. Before "administration", it was IA and PA (hence the capitalization in the early replies). __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	If the A stands for assumption, IA may mean Intelligent assumption, PA may mean Poor assumption and the difference then is MA meaning Moderator assumption. There must be more to it than it appears.
