(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)

I utterly disagree with  everything  you are saying,  but I 
am prepared to fight to the death for your right to say it.
