    Re: More name ideas —Eric Kingsley
   (...) Congrats on a great meeting and what appears to be another strong LEGO group. If I may throw in my 2 cents worth here as far as a name goes. There are currently 3 general LEGO User Groups or "LUG's" in existance (BayLUG, NELUG, and GMLUG) and (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc, lugnet.org.us)

        Re: More name ideas —Eric Kingsley
   (...) Well again my 2 cents... Just to be anti-uniform for anti-uniformity's sake is not allways the way to go in my opinion.

        Re: Utah name dicussion: lug or no lug —Jeremy Sproat
   (...) The point was brought up elsewhere that SLLUGNET is too close to LUGNET by name, without any of the official affiliations (1) -- a potential trademark dilution problem for LUGNET.

   Hi guys. I've seen the discussion going on for a bit here and I sense that it could go on longer still, so let me put my vote in for WAFOL (or even Wasatch Area Fans and Friends of Lego Entertainment).

        Re: Name voting (Was: Utah name dicussion: lug or no lug) —Ashley Glennon
   It's a bummer that SLLUG is already taken. Do the Linux folks already have a site up? Does their name prevent us from using that name? Is SLLUG or SLLUGNET.com taken? Here's some more name options: How about SLLUF (Salt Lake Lego User Forum)? SLAB (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc, lugnet.org.us)
