Whatever.. My point was the very simple one that TCLUG was named b y folks most of whom who knew all this THEN when they named it. It was named with basic cognition, and the choice TCLUG was made. The name has worked well enough for many years and needs no change. Adding a history and credits paragraph to the TCLUG website may be "nice", however. More than that is truly silly consider unless Tanner, Jima, et al want to change the name. If the TCLUG founders care about this and regret their original choice, THEN they should change list, domain name, etc. Those who are not TCLUG founders or maintainers should have no say.
