It does, in the sense that the word HOG is a registered trademark of Harley 
in many jurisdictions. Which is probably one reason why Hasselblad does not 
use that abbreviation anywhere on the web site--they make sure to write 
"Hasselblad Owners' Club (not "Group") throughout. 

The abbreviation is just Kyle's invention.

Cheers,
Nathan
