I guess "ftn" could be changed to "fido" - but keeping it short and
suite.

I'd build it with 'fsx' in mind :)

Which is an FTN (FidoNet technology network) or in short a fido-net(work), but an FTN is not a message/packet/bundle. FTN is often used to say Fido-something without the meaning of FidoNet (Zone 1-4 / Policy 4), like in FTN technology (FidoNet technology network technology) or FTN network (FidoNet technology network network). You could just say FT (FidoTech) or fido, but the first sounds like Financial Times and the second has "Fido" in the name, which for some reason should be avoided. Fido is also a name for dogs and dogs smell, emit unnerving noises, and shit everywhere.

Conclusion: all terms are equally bad.

But we are talking about something that has no existing
precedence in the "FTN" world; "FSX" would be cool.

I'm glad you said that because that's where I was going with it too.

I understand what FTN is, means etc. I also know fsxNet has been set up to be experimental as part of it's reason to be, so I can't see why it should remain wholly as a FTN network. Who knows in years to come it might be a mix of a bunch of things, that would be kinda neat in my books :)

I don't doubt that. Should I put everything in big <IRONY> tags next time? ;)

I thought we were talking about the fido part and how to name the content-type of a fido packet.

I'm still not sure what you mean by this.

FTX.

It's like FTN, but X is cooler.

Using as part of a token in a Content-Type header, of course!

It's all good, I need to read between the lines a bit more too :)

You probably were and I was not paying attention. But any naming convention with a fsx in it I am always keen on :) Hahah
