While the sentiments behind this suggestion are admirable, I don't
feel that such a name change is appropriate.  If *any* change is
appropriate, it would be to change net.columbia to a name that
accurately describes the contents of the group, rather than another
name chosen for what would be (sincere) emotional reasons.

We shouldn't be naming our "database" categories based on other
than genuine content, regardless of the natural temptation to make
emotional linkages.  There are many more appropriate ways for
us to express our feelings about such events to the parties involved.
