Sad but true. How often do we see explanations required for SKS, GRO, PRO,
NA,,etc.

PRO and GRO often get confused for each other, but as the PRO is now the NA
perhaps they won't.

The use of acronyms is common place, put the addition of a few extra letters
doesn't cost much. Reminds me of when working on IBM mainframes which had
AMDs. AMD is short for FAN, or in IBM double speak, Air Movement Device.
