No doubt this group will be flooded shortly with postings about
the Challenger disaster, so I hesitated about posting this.

I am shocked and saddened by the news of the explosion and it
fills me with the need to do something.  I therefore propose
that the name of this group be changed to net.challenger in
memorial to the loss of the seven pioneers and the spacecraft.
 
This would have the added benefit of removing the ambiguity of
the name 'columbia'.
