During my 12 years on the Internet I've seen only "In My Humble Opinion"
until now. And the Jargon file also says IMHO = "In My Humble Opinion",
check out:
http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/IMHO.html
Then there's IMNSHO = "In My Not So Humble Opinion", if you want to
argue stronger for your case. Trying to interpret IMNSHO as "In My
Not So Honest Opinion" doesn't work very well....
