I don't think there is merit in renaming the user group, changing the 
name won't make any difference to what we do, let's not start grasping 
at straws and instead do something positive to better the user group. 
Lots of very good suggestions have come about from Willie's original post.

The last then we need is our web presence removed when we change name, 
the domain name (scotlug.org.uk) to become invalid for our uses and the 
IRC channel to die/move in such a way that people can't find us.

Thanks,
