Of course, the p prefix I use would be "pointless" (hehehe) if a blanket use of prefixes was used. Which is why I also dislike general prefixes too. I think prefixes also stop people from thinking up good variable names, they think that if they tag the name with a load of prefixes to some crap convention - then it magically becomes a good name - when in fact it becomes worse IMO.
