[atlarge-discuss] RE: [atlarge-panel] Vote for Name must happen NOW

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

You know what?
This is hot! (No I do not mean Joanna, although I find bright, intelligent 
well organized and result oriented women hot)
What I mean is you folks are getting it done.
Bruce has agreed to carry out the count, Joanna has done a great job wording 
it and it is not not constitutional.  I believe all names are donated.
So let us pick one today for tomorrow, and the day after next month if we 
want to we add another and then another and for Christmas another, and for 
Tet another, and for Jewish another and for Muslims another and for .......
{You all Know that United States of America is a bad name and it really 
should be Microhard, not Microsoft, Walt was a friend of my Dad's and he 
never really wanted it called "Disneyland" - Chevrolet?, New? Zealand? New 
York? } Just get it on and get it done.
