RE: Request for Help: Group Name Dilemma

I have no problem with leaving the group name the same and you using the
tagline for your consulting practice.  The spirit of the community will come
from the interactions, not the name.  I'm just please to be able to play a
small part in the success of your consulting practice!

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

  I don't see any problem, here, Dale. Is this a list about discussing
  resistance as a resource? If so, the name is fine. If not, the name may
  still be fine.

  Speaking for myself, I am happy to be on a list associated with you.
