(me:) No, please let's find a name which is understandable also for all those who are not in the field, and which is (more or less) unambiguous. We have even already had problems with the "tech" in sci.philosophy.tech, as people didn't know whether it meant "technical" or "of technology" (the first). Nobody ever has to type in the names, as in rn normally the space bar brings you there right away, and otherwise /xxx, with xxx just some consecutive letters of the name. Whatever name, I vote against any abbreviation. (Also in the interests of whoever wonders what that newsgroup might be for) -- Biep.
