[ELECTRON] omniversity link

[Martin McGrath]

I think you're confusing somethings name with a description of what it is.

By the logic of your example (omni + versity) the subject line (or URL)
could just as easily be interpreted as something different, e.g.
Omniverse<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omniverse>+ ity.

Perhaps a summary of the pertinent information from the
'About<http://omniversity.madlab.org.uk/about/>'
page would actually describe what this is about, rather than just tell
people the name of something, along with a URL.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect some accompanying text explaining
what something is.

As it stands such posts would be difficult for people to find when searching
for them in future as there's no supporting text, except the subject line
and the URL. It gives people nothing to search on if they can't remember
either of these things. They probably wouldn't be searching for them if they
could remember either, since that is all the message really contained.

Many people find the list archive a valuable resource. The usefulness of
this relies (on a great degree) on the content.

Cheers

Martin
