 Amen.  Within the context of comp.*, CLI is clearly not what the 
 proponents want to talk about.  Even within the context of comp.std.* or 
 comp.lang.* I'm very skeptical about using the TLA as the name.  There 
 is a Posix standard for the unix shell, if I recall correctly, and I 
 could certainly see a group where people would discuss CLI languages 
 (eg. Bourne shell, C shell, etc). 
  
 Unfortunately I can't think of a better name, but comp.std.cli is, IMO, 
 not a good one.
