`` With regards to the new name of LADsnet:
How about CSIN-L: "Chinese Students Immigration and Naturalization List". 
Not overly explicit but suffuciently accurate for the purpose of the list.
Or CSSIN-L: with the seconds stands for "Scholars" ''

My view is that ``CS'' or ``CSS'' in CSIN-L or CSSIN-L is not 
necessary, since it is so obvious that the net, with any name, is for 
CSS.  
Similarly, ``IE'' in INIE-L is not necessary, sine the net, 
with any name, is for IE.  

Thus, both GOU and FANGL actually emphasized ``IN'' --- IN-L 
--- ``Immigration & Naturalization List''.  
I still feel VISA-L or INS-L would be better.  
They are explicit, or overly explict, or too explict, 
but there is nothing wrong, or nothing inconvenient, to be so, 
as the net is for IE among CSS on VISA/INS related matters.  
Why should we be afraid of being explicit?  I see no reason.  

HAO

The reason I said VISA-L, is because we might not only talk about
immigration visa. With China connected to Internet now, we can also
talk about student visa, visiting visa etc, and offer our tips if
any.
