Quote - I hate to be one of those internet guys who do this but reading through the thread )and the one linked to) it's starting to get to me....so I have to point out that every time you put light or lights or lighting at the end of IBL you are saying Image Based Light Lighting and Image Based Light Light or Image Based Light Lights. Wouldn't it be better to just say IBL and leave it at that?

I don't think it's appropriate to just say IBL in all cases.  IBL is a process, consisting of various subjects.  In some cases, being specific in reference to which part of that process is required. IBL in some applications, including Poser, requires a light and an image (the light being a dome emitter).  So if you're talking about IBL, you can still specifically refer to the Light, and it wouldn't be redundant.
