New Net Name
I would like to suggest that the name ARACHNET be removed from
consideration as the new name for netnews.  I believe the name "ARACHNET"
is too close to "ARACHNE".  Arachne is a distributed operating system
being designed and implemented at U. Wisconsin - Madison by Marvin
Solomon and Raphael Finkel.  I believe they have already published a
few papers using the name Arachne.
