First of all, some people will be irritated that you called r.a.sf.w a
"site", rather than a Usenet group. I'm not one of them, but if it
does happen that someone posts about it, don't be surprised.
I think it was a fine place to ask about YASID's meaning.

Yet Another Story ID request -- they happen so often.

The word you want is FAQ. Evelyn Leeper has been posting it for a
while; looks like the frequency is about once every two months (that's
just a guess based on some quick Googling). Lately she's posting a
link to a website, so here's the link:
http://www.geocities.com/evelynleeper/sf-written.htm
The first section does indeed contain acronyms, and many other useful
bits of info are contained inside.
Hope this helps and welcome to rasfw!
