However, a few topics generate more traffic than others. In order to allow those who use rn or some other method of pre-selecting articles to filter out (or save away) postings about these heavy traffic subjects, an abbreviation scheme has been created. Please help out by starting your subject line with one of the following abbreviations when posting about these topics. For example: Subject: NX - Ed the Shaman? or Subject: MB: Scott Bakula is PERFECT New abbreviations will be added as needed. Send suggestions directly to me, and I'll add them to the list. Objections to any abbreviations should probably be posted so that a consensus may be reached. Old abbreviations will be deleted when no longer necessary. B5 - Babylon 5 HL - Highlander LAL - LA Law L&C - Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman L&O - Law and Order MWC - Married With Children MB - Murphy Brown MST - Mystery Science Theatre 3000 NX - Northern Exposure PF - Picket Fences SMP - The Simpsons SNL - Saturday Night Live SQ - seaQuest DSV WKRP - WKRP in Cincinnati Some of these shows and as well as others are also discussed on various alt groups and mailing lists. These are detailed as completely as possible in "TV Discussion Groups, Etc." which is posted periodically to rec.arts.tv. -- Melissa mwauford@utkvx.utk.edu
