Well, I'm not sure I totally agree...  Granted, it should probably be
posted there as well, but...  Shouldn't all good news readers (ie,
pretty much just gnus) be able to help you decypher the articles you
are reading, and hence be able to look up acronyms?  I mean, you have
rot13 built in to decode articles, what about acronym-lookup...

Feeling in sort of a devils advocate kinda mood...  sorry...
