Subject: admin: new list name

Hello all, but especially jim --
I am just poking through my email for the past couple of weeks and
noticed 
the move of blindprogramming to freelists.org.
I'm sure there was discussion of the list name, and I think I may have
seen 
some of the posts on the name of the new list, and I'm probably too late
in 
my response, but I don't like the name "programmingblind" for a couple
of 
reasons:

1) it is too long, and therefore takes up too much space on the subject 
line, and
2) for those of us who are subscribed to both the blindprogramming list
and 
program-l, it is harder to search the list mail for matches in my inbox
-- I 
mean, you have to type more letters in order to do a search for 
[programmingblind] on the subject line.

As I'm probably way too late to influense the list name any further,
I'll 
just get used to the new name, but if there is a chance of shortening
the 
name a bit, I think it would be worth it in the long run.

Anyway, I won't waste more bandwidth on this, just wanted to have my
say.
Happy hacking as always!
