Now that I think of it, how about adding HYDRO for, surprise, Hydroponic 
gardening?

Perhaps I'm about to put my foot in my mouth, but so far as I know, my
newsreader's killfile abilities don't include the ability to do a "word 
oriented" search:  for example, if I put /ORN/-- in my killfile, I'll kill 
messages about corn as well as about ornamentals.  Thus, I'd suggest
that people put colons after the abbreviations, as /ORN:/-- is *much* less
likely to kill anything I might not want to kill.
