Just as an addendum: to my way of thinking (screwed, I know!),
ASAS and TASS-specific names should be verboten. As either Mike or Thom
noted, it's okay to use those for in-house bookkeeping, but don't publish
them!
An "excellent" bad example of useless names that have done nothing
but clutter the literature are the Hipparcos designations. Maybe there
should be a list of acronyms/catalogues to avoid:
AAVSO ____
ASAS
TASS
HIP
SAO ....... B-)
