I have a built-in enjoyment and sympathy for anyone who does something seemingly obsessive and pointless.
This guy has, along with countless other enthusiasts, found genuine organisations and meanings for every possible three letter combination.

According to the pages I checked, he has now moved on to four letter abbreviations. I plan to get in on the act when it gets up around 12 letters. FFFIWIALFTTW, is what I always say.
I suppose we shouldn't tell him that some of them will now be outated or obselete...
Fun fun fun is what I always live for, that's the way.

Tell me an organisation that isn't! It's the same in education. I've got brave now in meetings; if I don't know the acronym I stop them and ask. Usually I find that at least half a dozen other people didn't know either, they were just too scared to admit it. Maybe that's my main role in the meetings!
