Yes, I thought that there would be a good description of what the group was
on that page and it is true that you can watch the group for a while, but
this shouldn't mean a more explanative name can't be used.

Lots of room for expansion. All meet the length and character requirements,
and I feel these are just more user friendly (similar to other names on
Lugnet)
This is my last post on the subject because I'm not sure of the implications
of leaving out the "announce" section that was in the original proposal.
Perhaps my suggestions don't fit in a scheme already decided upon. I don't
want you to have to explain something that I am missing.
Thanks
