   That comes down to the various programs, and the Sysops.   
      
   I believe at least several programs have the option for at least short   
   descriptions for the message areas. Whether or not they are used is to each   
   Sysop.   
      
   Web interfaces, I couldn't say. I've not really studied them much.
