Acronyms normally keep more people 'out' than they bring in.

Like Steve has pointed out, a Quango and an NGO, are two different things. As to acronyms, I can somewhat agree, if they are a local, or inter-group thing... But with Google, you can stop for a second and expand your mind. If the conversations were limited to only what others thought the rest or the group knew, the conversations would limited, short, or just might not happen.
