Charter of uk.media.tv.sky

In order to assist the threading of posts in the group,
each header should start with a suitable abbreviation of
the show to which it refers, in parentheses. For example:
'(SAAB) What happened to the Wild Cards?' SAAB = Space:
Above and Beyond '(M1) So who killed Jessica Costello?' M1
= Murder One


I never heard of that rule before. Who decided that we must follow this
rule and when?
