Byrne Fone is great. I don't know about an Acronym, but how about the John de Wettre Society (first person known to have been killed by a government for homosexuality, in Western Civilization, in 1292 -- learned that from Fone)?

Do you know if he's written anything else?

(And speaking of acronyms and Harry Potter, it took me ages to realize that House Elf Liberation Front could be shortened to House-ELF. Her humour is so subtle sometimes, it's astounding, and incredibly obscure. I'm convinced I'm the only one who got the Hermes/Argus/Io reference in book 5, when Hermes the Owl gets past Argus Filch to land on the picture of Io -- in imitation of this myth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus))
