Summary: DON'T POST FOLLOWUPS IN THIS SERIES!

It is unfortunate that the article to which this is a followup was
posted to net.general.  This topic is already being discussed in
net.news.group and net.columbia -- the newsgroups where it *should* be
discussed.  Please, please DO NOT post articles to net.general or
net.followup on this topic -- we don't need the volume nor do we need
more postings of "me too" or "hell no" from people who haven't followed
the discussion or thought about the ramifications.

The discussion in net.news.group and net.columbia so far has a majority
in favor of *not* changing the name for some very good reasons.  If you
have any interest in the idea at all (pro or con) read the postings
that have already been made to net.news.group, especially the last 15
or 20.  Then MAIL your opinions on the topic to one of the people who
have volunteered to accept such comments:  burl!wts or felix!bytebug.
They will summarize to the net in a few weeks.

All followups to this article will go to net.news.group and
net.columbia ONLY.
