FWIW

'For what it's worth' — the hedge that pre-discounts an opinion, from Usenet to the present, and the record's entry for the most self-deprecating acronym in the file. It is usually worth quite a lot; the writer just wants to be safe.

Spotted on a laminated sign in a chain café, Porto, Jan this year. FWIW, in a headline font. A manager did this on purpose and I would like their name for the record.

Definition @geocities_widow · Archivist 2 May 2008

The record notes that FWIW, IMHO, AFAIK and YMMV are four ways of not committing, and that the internet has more hedges than a country lane.
