This not very subtle insert sounds like tautology to me (who would say "in my dishonest opinion") , however a quick Google does suggest there are alternatives to "humble" in this acronym which I thought was a given - so perhaps I jumped to an unreasonable conclusion previously. Let's face it John using humble to describe his views was a bit out there even by his own lofty standards !
Nonetheless if I see it used in the Fowlsian sense again I will assume either the 3rd one is implied from the following list , or possibly the last one . Not that I want ruffle anyones feathers....
Rank Abbr. Meaning
****** IMHO In My Humble Opinion
***** IMHO In My Honest Opinion
**** IMHO Is My Hearing Aid on?
*** IMHO Internet Media House (Russian media-buying agency)
*** IMHO In My Holy Opinion
** IMHO In My Hesitating Opinion
** IMHO In My Highest Opinion
* IMHO International Medical Health Organisation
* IMHO I Might Have Ostriches
