It is still an acronym. It'd be a bit criminal to say it is one at 
first, but isn't later on. That could be perceived to be a semantic 
distinction.

Unless I'm mistaken, users will not get repeatedly told what the acronym 
stands for unless they ask for it. The same goes for abbreviation.

Regards,
Barney
