Re: Team AMIGA vote against lending name

Obviously Mohamed and I are disappointed after suggesting the new name -- which was completely coincidental. I'm equally surprised that there was any concern, given the fact that the group seems to be virtually dormant. One would have to guess that the commercial connection with Amiga may have seemed inappropriate.

In any case, a few lessons to be learned from this process:

1. anyone can lay claim to a title or design - we may run into this again and again with any number of suggestions, including 'Club Amiga' - registering a trademark makes all the difference

2. internet-based voting that is unauthenticated is asking for trouble in any community, but especially this one
