Aallegra.176 net.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!allegra!sincos Wed Jan 6 10:04:22 1982 New Net Name I would like to suggest that the name ARACHNET be removed from consideration as the new name for netnews. I believe the name "ARACHNET" is too close to "ARACHNE". Arachne is a distributed operating system being designed and implemented at U. Wisconsin - Madison by Marvin Solomon and Raphael Finkel. I believe they have already published a few papers using the name Arachne.
