The name is: de.etc.- what does "etc." means?


etc. is short for et cetera (latin) and means 'and so on'.

It's just a naming convention for this newsgroup and a number of related ones. Es muss nicht unbedingt einen Sinn haben.

Vielleicht ist jemand hier, der seit der Gründung der Newsgroup dabei ist, der es genauer erklären kann.
