I think you should call yourselves the STUDS and then run adverts like "Join
the STUDS. Phone XXXXXXXX" in the personal columns of the newspapers to
attract new members :-)
I work for the Cooperative Research Centre for Enterprise Distributed
Systems Technology. This wordy name is then mysteriously abbreviated to
DSTC. At the DSTC, I am involved in the International Organisation for
Standardisation (ISO), the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the
International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), the Object
Management Group (OMG), etc etc. Most of these names and abbreviations were
achieved as the result of committees of seriously boring people endlessly
debating the matter. And the result is? Yawn!
Lego is fun and our groups deserve to have fun names!

At the time it was discussed, I thought it was a trivial matter and not worth arguing about for the sake of a casual group of Lego wranglers. Maybe it was all a bit hastily done. (...)
