I was with them when they introduced the BMO online services in the 90s. I could be wrong though. Truth be told, I never really paid attention to whether or not they had an internal acronym at that time.

Depending on when in the 90s that could be accurate. I'm not old enough to remember anything prior to the mid 90s. Its been BMO for as long as I can remember.

Since they never had an acronym to begin with, it's perfectly acceptable.
Even better. BOMO. Now that has a ring to it.
Or better yet BOMOO!
I also hate their Blue Colour scheme.

Next discussion is on those whippersnappers and their rap music
