Or how about "Tautology" instead... I think that means "teachings" or something. Hey, what about "Teachings"! :P

BOXING DAY - Bustle Of Xmas Is Now Gone, Discounts Await You
referring to boxing day sales.
Not a great one, but it's something. :) I'd like to change 'Bustle' for something else as the sales usually mean more bustling. Preferably I'd like a word which says something about the higher price of items before Christmas, in contrast to the low prices in the sales on Boxing day.

If you're not really SANTA CLAUS, remember that the Stack Allows Names To Accrue Credit - Left Anonymous = Un-Sung.
If you are SANTA, you're Spreading Acronymania Northward To Axis
I suppose Santa would be taking a well-earned break about now and would have time to acronymise.

What do you need.... for the author to 'fess up' and allow you to list the nyms under their pseudonym? I think you've got that permission already.
I suggest that all nyms submitted to this site be credited to whatever name/pseudonym that accompanies the entry

Okay, I guess that's a sensible policy... but after the Trickertreat thing, I thought I'd first see if it was just someone playing around who actually wanted the acronyms credited to his/her usual name.
Santa Claus it is!

Hmm... I at least need to know whether '?' is Santa... I'm not going to credit acronyms in the stack to a punctuation mark.

This is dreadful. I must confess to being Santa, ? and Santa Claus. But please reconsider the attribution of stuff lodged to this forum. If I wanted to be referred to in the stack as ? then i should be able to have that privilege.

I actually may just effectively fool, friends.

The difficulty in calling someone '?' in the stack is that if the person creates enough acronyms to get into the hall of fame, the stack has to make a list of all acronyms by that person. With a one character pseudonym it's very likely that many other acronyms will be thought of by the stack as being by that person, when they're not.
So now that you've owned up, do you want the acronyms to be credited to you or Santa Claus?
By the way, you may use whatever pseudonyms you like on these forums, but there is one rule - you must not impersonate another poster. Things are confusing enough as it is! I hope I don't regret giving you that idea.

Santa Claus, of course! Isn't that what I've been trying to establish ;-)

I may be many people, some of them at the same time, but I promise I will never be an existing or previous poster - any name I post under will not have been used by anyone else. My psuedonymity is used either to relieve boredom or to teasingly irritate everyone else on the forum ;-)
