Ehhh.....
>>736579 Actually, there are a number of sources out there that indicate apostrophe-s as being the acceptable plural for acronyms. I know, I know, I don't have any evidence to provide, blah, blah, blah, since, you know, I never really thought I'd have a discussion about this. Nevertheless, if you feel like trusting my word--which, of course, in this arena, is almost entirely worthless--, I am familiar with what I would consider authorities who find the apostrophe-s acronym plural acceptable. I mean, we could get into a fight about what constitutes an authority or not, but when you think about it, there isn't actually any official authority on grammar out there. Sure, there are the MLA, APA, and Chicago guides, but those are ultimately just that: guides.
In any case, I don't really see any reason to argue about it, since, as I mentioned, that usage is becoming extinct, anyway.
