THR: for thread is a good prefix too.

It's a good idea.

Yuuups. This (winhelp- techwr is just for crowding those that are not
crossyposting) is not a heavy list (just take a look at
TECWurtheringamountsodthreadiflaminottuspacesafteraperiodthing. Though I
still love that list -chirp chirp Eric-. I don't read all the stuff in
my morning paper, I don't buy the same one my granda does - he's 95 and
loves to announce you the dollar/franc/DM rate - he's French, but he
lived for some time in NY state, around the 20's - and that he saw that
there were several cars burglared in Douarnenez (that's in Brittany, the
head that seems to say "Nananère" to America - no way with Dix Shonnary
- I miss years of kindergarten in my "peek a boo" vocabulary).
Well, "To work" Alice GOODMAN - Nixon in China.

BS could stand for a couple of things -- jest or Blue-Sky/Robo. OT
would
likely include jest, and BS would be included under a Robo prefix.
