I was going to write about this, but I see you've voiced my concerns
near-perfectly.

I agree that dear-lego is quite a good name, but IMHO retroactively
altering things, especially as important as group charters, is Evil.

Moving the current dear-lego archive to elsewhere and recreating a new
group with the old name (logically, if maybe not technically at least)
would be the obvious solution, since on Lugnet, you can do that - on
Usenet at large, it wouldn't work.
