Re: Carbusters - Journal of the Carfree Movement?

It took me a while to give my feedback on this one. I've always thought
of the term "journal" to be a strictly academic term. But then I read
in wikipedia and found that they also provide a broader alternative
("the record of the transactions of a society"), which makes it
perfectly adaptable to a "Journal of the Carfree Movement"). So cool,
great name and good idea.

The name "Carbusters" is a well-recognized mark and a symbol of the
grassroots origins of this movement. "Journal of the Carfree
Movement," as an appended parenthetical or subtitle, gives the
publication a well-deserved air of the academe and connects it with
the now broader social, economic, and political culture that it
inspired.

So, in short, go with both!

Even though the AGM decided to keep the name
Carbusters for now, we were thinking here in
Prague to add below the name the words 'Journal
of the Carfree Movement'. We would like to
initiate a discussion in the list to hear all
possible viewpoints and decide collectively if
that's a good idea or not.

We are thinking that adding this we would give
to the magazine a more serious undertone, while
retaining the old name, with all the positive
things that stem from it, such as its
recognizability and the fact that a name change
would cost serious money currently.

I agree 100% !
