BTW is shorthand for by the way. WRT is With respect to. RTFM is generally used as an admonition and means read the f*ing manual (choice of f-words varies according to reader). The implication is that the answer to a query or complaint is easy to find if one looks in the appropriate location FIRST. Most FAQ postings (Frequently-Asked Questions) that answer these questions may be found cross-posted in news.answers.
