Mm, fair enough.

Among those that were on the LA list when this was discussed I really think it's been discussed to death.
I didn't mean that it would do any harm, just that at this point I think at least the vast majority of the points have been made, and very few people that were in the initial discussion will change their mind now.

As the voting deadline gets closer, it is fair to anticipate that some new related posts will come through.  Also people join (or re-join LA mailing list after in-activity for what ever reason) all the time (I am one of them!), so they get (re)accustomed to the topic.  Its true that going back to the archive may be one way to get oneself informed on this topic, but honestly this is very teadious and time consuming.  So repeating already discussed issues, is hardly going to cause any wrong - admittedly can be frustrating to some, - but that's a price to pay if one subscribes to an open forum like luv-talk.

BTW: the sheer inconvenience of having to search thru the archives to get a sense of what has been discussed on this issue is in itself a factor that will determine how I vote!.


Cheers
Daniel.



If anyone is curious please continue through the archives I linked to rather than restarting the discussion.

Personally I think changing names of organisations ( commercial and
non-commercial);
to better describe function or simple novelty as often seems the case;
  involves a miss-understanding of  the function of names !
The function of the name is not essentially to describe the function of
the  organisation,
but to uniquely represent the organisation. All that such
badge-engineering does is
obscure identification. Even advertisers recognise the commercial value
of brand recognition !
