Daniel,

I'm not including all the original recipients to save bandwidth and junkmail.
I propose that you could summarize to them, if you rate something as being
substantial input.

|Yes they do! As with all names they make it easier to talk about
|the object named.

I agree wholeheartedly! I think there is already too much things in Internet
that is talked about (and output by programs) in numbers and figures only.

I think we should keep them, although names are only as useful as the
information being put into it. Eg. calling a network say 193.170.x "NET01"
for the database...

Wilfried.
