Mark Benz followed up in email to me, asking about the choice of
domain name. I'm reposting his comments here, since it looks like he
was trying to reply to the newsgroup as well, but I couldn't find
the message here to refer to;

The naming choice "BayLUG" was made because a few of the people who
were originally brainstorming the club idea were interested in being
affiliated with LUGNET, so we were looking for a ___LUG name. (This
is along the lines of a new train group using ___LTC for a name. :-)
BUT, since we haven't registerd BAYLUG.ORG, and since BALC.ORG is
still available, what do folks think? Preferences for one name or
the other? Is there any other name(s) that I should check? :-)
