I hate to pick nits with what is basicly a very well thought out and logical proposal, but my first thought when I saw c.s.m.appl was that "appl" stood for "Apple" not "Application". This leads to, of course, c.s.m.clone, should the need ever arise. Personally I prefer "app" because it seems more logical, and because it's 1 character shorter. That said, I voted yes for the whole proposal, and urge others to do likewise. It's basicly pretty good and the need for reorganization is obvious. I think everybody should consider just putting up with whatever little part of the proposal irks them rather than insisting on slugging it out with more proposals, counter-proposals, votes, etc. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu -OR- {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy "My karma ran over my dogma"
