Re: Request for Help: Group Name Dilemma

I'm really new to this group, so here's my humble opinion . . .
I think that your business should reflect your expertise and your
passion. The fact that your passion hit Yahoo first is immaterial to me.
Let the name of this group be a testimony to the fact that your passion
blossomed in different places at different times. We'll talk and grow
freely and may your business flourish as well. This is a perspective
that the whole world needs to get a vision for.
