Subject: [ADMIN] codes
1) Re, the code list, K-H is right.... but the point of having the longer list is that if we name the official code FT, someone is gonna type FTFB. or FB1 or something. So I was trying to support them all. Additionally, some of the ones previously proposed were too specific (SG2 where I see SG appear frequently for one example). I too agree we should have certain core ones and I'd probably drop about half the ones in my proposed list.... if it met with general approval. I don't actually have any authority in these matters, and I'd be curious if Matt S has any opinions on the matter. I think a short list of no more than 10-12 entries (hence rememberable) would be best. My preferred list: OFFICIAL - covers announcements, rules proclamations, etc. from Jon (his own fief exclusively) (perhaps we use GZG instead but something tells me this will show up in subject lines for other reasons...) SG - Stargrunt FT - Full Thrust (any flavour) DS - Dirtside FMAS - FMA Skirmish ADMIN - list related stuff, from the list-admin or about the list CON - announcements about conventions like ECC/WCC/Others OT - off topic (this might be a default.....) B5 - Babylon 5 or EFSB related material HIST - future history of some flavour That's 10 and I think it covers all that matters. 2) Oerjan, I can't expand KNG for you. Ask whoever has the Dutch Kingdom in the pedia.... I picked it up somewhere and figured it translated to something in Dutch but I don't know. I could have just imagined it period... anyone help out here? I think Tom Pope was the Dutch Kingdom dude.... or maybe it was someone else?
