You could be surprised...then again, LA aren't doing themselves many favours
at the moment.

Agreed...LegOz is a "fun name" rather than something that is actually
meaningful...though we DO need something easy to remember, and LegOz does
fit the bill in that respect.
I don't really know what name would be a good one, but I'm sure between us
[lurkers and de-lurked] we can come up with something that describes us and
is easy to remember...and that is easy to assign sub-goups to.
[Sydney/Melbourne/Vic/Tassie/whatever division is easy to remember, but
something a little more "catchy" would be better.]
So...any lurkers out there now is the time to de-lurk and have your say on
what we should call ourselves.
