If you're suggesting that Alan Brown said to stop using the Orbs name, then I'd accept it as a legitimate claim to the name. While Orbs was a large resource to me, the name Orbs is Alan's, and without his permission, you probably can use it, but it would lack in ethics. Don't let this detract from any level of cooperation in terms of database sharing. I'm just stating an opinion. For myself, creating a database that is widely recognised and respected is much more important than what one wants to call it. For that matter, and hopefully to create a tad bit of levity, I propose that we rename blackhole to shithole, to eliminate potential NAACP lawsuits. ;) -- http://relays.osirusoft.com http://www.osirusoft.com
