Robert Bonomi responds:

And, just to confuse the issue, there are things that used to be acronyms
that are _not_ one any more. The best known one is "IBM" -- which *used*
to be an acronym derived from 'International Business Machines Corporation".
But, they officially changed their name to "The IBM Corporation", roughly
30 years ago, and the letters *don't* stand for anything today. grin

You mean like Esso...Eastern Standard Oil. Whoops. They changed that to Exxon
and then merged with Mobil. Damned if I know what it's called now. Gas fed
octopus?
