PaulS:
Depends. Do you want code that makes sense today, or forever? If you're happy with code that only makes sense today, then, by all means use generic, meaningless, names.
You know, I'm taking a class on this stuff only because I have to, to be honest.. So, I appreciate your concern, but I'd like my original question answered.. Not necessarily worried about what my variables are called unless it is related to my problem (which even I know it is not).
