Nah, it's a common phenomenon and I think enough people are aware of the issue and figure it out for themselves. I think this problem is also part of why lugs are usually spelled out along with their initials. The oldest reference I know of to our group's name is in Chris Fearnley's December 1995 PACS Databus article: http://www.CJFearnley.com/databus/95cfearnl.dec.txt Which is quoted at the top of the PLUG history page: http://www.PhillyLinux.org/history.html And says: "Philadelphia Area Linux User's Group (Philly-LUG)" I've guessed this was an initial attempt to avoid this common problem of namespace collision. Don't know how it changed to PLUG. There are at least a few people on this list that were involved back then. The name inconsistently changed between "Users" "User's" and "User" as much as I could tell, and was somewhat formalized a while ago on "User" in a discussion on this list. I should find that in the archives and document it on the history page. -- "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." - Mahatma Gandhi http://www.ChaosReigns.com Attachment:
