Not really, I don't think. Names get chosen for whimsical reasons or no
reason at all, or to be like other names. (c.f. John Allen's famous Gorre &
Dapheted RR, one of the most spectactular pre 1960 layouts, which was named
to make a really really bad pun (enunciate it if you don't get it) for no
reason at all)
I am OK with calling it whatever it ends up being called. I expressed my
preference but won't be too upset if it doesn't go that way.
What I *would* be upset about is if we shy away from "brotherhood" as a name
for totally *spurious* PC reasons. It's fine to not go with it because
people prefer something else for personal preference reasons, though, if you
see the distinction.
What is MOST important, though, far far beyond the name, is having the
organisation actually do some good. Let's move beyond the name and get
cracking on that.
do pairlists come with filespace? (that's the upside of yahoogroups...)
