RE: Type III T3, et


I agree, it does matter in databases, however, we are a dedicated Type III
list and as such T3 means "Type III".  If we were a bus list then I'm sure
it would mean Transporter 3 (Spock, beam this thread outta here!).  When we
use "FI" we know it means "fuel injection" and not "First In", as in "First
In, Last Out" in computers and assembly-line manufacturing.

As to outside this list, it is my belief that "Type 3" is known to be used
for our model of cars while "T3" is used by those *in the know* for
Transporters.  As such, those Transporter volks are wrongly confusing their
subcategorization as a major categorization.  To me it's a simple mistake on
their part.
