- 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
