I totally disagree. If scp is formed, then there is atleast a hope of getting 
rid of the Butts and Azhars from scINDIAN, if not for anything else, but to
reduce the flow of diatribes.

I think that is a rather ridiculous idea. I am fairly certain that I speak for
the majority of Indians that this is a group for exchange of Indian ideas/rel
and the vast majority of readers are Indians and would like to keep the group 
name the same. Whose purpose do you think renaming will serve? Not that of the
majority. 
	Butt proudly likened scI to garbage. But he also proclaimed his 
aspiration for the like. In view of 'helping' Pakistanis by renaming, you will 
in effect kill his ambitions and achieve just the opposite.
