Prior to doing any kind of vote, I move that a new topic be started. The purpose of this topic is for each person, who has a relevant argument, to present it. I also suggest that each person who wants to say something only submit one email stating their arguments. That way we have a collection of the arguments for and against a name change that can be easily compiled and read by those who wish to make an informed decision.
