    You know, I hate to be a jerk and all, but we can't have indecisiveness
like that. When you say 'let's call it ..., or maybe ..., or' that isn't doing
me any good. I need to know the general opinion towards the name. Personally,
I prefer rec.music.pfloyd, it's short and specific. rec.music.pinkfloyd is a
little too long and when you post to it repeatedly, it gets very old very fast.
And besides, why not have some uniformity? We've got rec.music.gdead, and
before you know it ther'll be rec.music.jtull, need I go on??
    As usual, constructive (specific) suggestions are welcome, flames will be
summarily ignored.
