Naming Scheme
Re: net and pers

       As someone who prefers .c and .s and .o to things like .FOR
and .OBJ and .BAS, perhaps after the news group names are ironed out
we could remove all the sometimes misleading prefixes, and replace
the multiletter prefixes with one char, for example: n.news, or p.ham-radio.
       No doubt 'net' is more descriptive than 'n', however is 'pers'
easily decipherable? Personally I prefer shorter names, if the
longer name is not exceptionally descriptive. Perhaps q.jokes?

       Just a thought.
