9 AristotlePagaltzis 29 Note that XINARA Is Not A Recursive Acronym. Perhaps it should be! (Apparently it's a town on the Tinos Islands, off Greece.) [PINARA | http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/3/19/13910/0511] also isn't, but that's already been suggested on [kuro5hin|http://www.kuro5hin.org]. This was the only ~[A-Z]INARA I could find in a [Google] search in this context.
