Should the plural of an acronym have an apostrophe?

[Poll #1217630]

I know what the Times and Oxford style guides say, but I was wondering about the opinions of my readership on the wonderful wibbly wobbly world wide web.

should acronyms even have plurals?

if you think about it the whole point is to only take the first letter...so the s, apostrophe or not, would be cut off anyway?

Good point - although that would probably lead to more confusion ... [grin]

"Bring the SLR!"
"Got it."
"It? What about the other two?"
"What?"
