Second, I'm tempted to make a snarky reply to Eric, but I'll try to be civil. I'm not a fan of the name either and didn't vote for it. But the community did. And it seems insulting to follow up on the account of Jeff's hard work with a complaint that could have been (and was) made weeks ago. It also could have been done in a much more polite manner. Well, ok, on the irc you probably could have said this ;). But the atmosphere is a bit different than the mailing list. Jon Gorman
