I guess RMS achieved what he wanted - he provoked a discussion - which is good thing. Now, lets be practical - lets send RMS a response (Mike, if you and others agree), which states that discussion of name changing in underway, but a little bit of more help from the man (RMS) to convince more members, is more than welcome, so lets meet and let him convince the "unbelievers". :) This should be acceptable for any reasonable person.
