It wasn't a gripe per se so much as an ironic observation, but thanks for the correction. (Also ironically: I was a member of ACM for a couple of years -- when my employer paid my dues -- and I did not realize ACM was distinct, versus a part of, IEEE.)
You might have had it mixed up with the IEEE Computer Society. It's the software and computer focused end of IEEE, with the other societies being more focused on other EE fields (power, radio, etc.).
