Rec.arts.tv is a high volume newsgroup with a wide variety of discussed
topics. 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.
