Re: New Net Name (watmath.1384 followup)
I think that is is appropriate to name the net ARACHNET.
Arachne may have been a loser, but she lost because she
compared herself to a god, how many of us have the same
problem?  BOO HISS to USENET, it only gets votes because
it is what is already in use.  I thought that the idea was
to change the name to get away from the UUCP/USENET confusion.
