Some could say same about those that want to dump the name linux.
I can see  Chris's POV, but he wants us to dump the name Linux to make
his life easier, this is a Linux grass roots organisation.
Would he go to Microsoft and demand they drop the name Windows ?  I bet
we all know the answer to that one.

If that changes, the org has, and IMHO it has no right to keep a hold of
the Linux Aus name from those who would seek to re-establish LA and
keep its grass roots as Linux. 
If that occurs, we'll at least be able to fix up the current screwed up
laggy mail server :)
