In light of the name change thing I'm wondering if we
now should now call ourselves "Isslings" or
"Issalings" rather than "siblings"?  "Issling" sounds
close to "gosling" - but that would make us baby
geese.

Does a sibling by any other name smell as sweet?

After some research (well, actually a few minutes on
an etymology website) I discovered that the name
"Issa" is a variant of the Arabic "Isa" meaning
"Jesus".

Your fellow sibling-issaling-issling,
David L. 
("David" being Hebrew for "Beloved"  and "L" being,
well, "L")
