Oopsy! Thanks for answering Pip's question, laureanna... I didn't see that!

And I've never had a moment's problem pronouncing YOUR name. :D

I've never understood the problem people have with laureanna.
I agree -- I find it quite easy, thusly: mī swēt chôk'-lĭ-tĭd môr'-sĭl

And as for TORN, I seem to have a similar problem, with everyone trying to reduce it to a graceless and vapidly singular syllable -- the correct pronunciation, as those of you with a more scholarly appreciation of linguistic subtleties surely already know, is:

tch-ĭû-hrr'-hĭncht

LOL, when you talk about people at moots, it's always funny how different the names sound, especially between people's English pronunciation of them and my German one - usually involves two or three repetitions of the name and maybe even an explanation ("you know, the guy who..."). :roll:

Bit left-field here, given it doesn't have B or 7 in it...

You know, given we are all members of the board, how about we call ourselves Directors. I mean, we all have executive voting powers due to the democratic nature of this place, right.

m77ts would be board meetings (or even directors meetings) etc...

Also, Directors in the name of a beer/ale/whatever in the UK. Also rather fitting.

How about the Guinness's? It certainly has no real practical meaning in the company sense, but it is a wonderful beer.

:damnfunny

Ara-Anna um is pronounced Ara-Anna High Noble Gift is the meaning I think.

And B77= The fucgarie tribe...

So when people ask we can reply We're the fucgarie.

But why do you have this need to label yourself? It's not like we're going into T-shirt or mug production any time soon ;)

I could go for some b77 underwear. But I still want that tshirt. My tshirt collection wouldn't be complete without it. I guess I'll just have to make one, eh?
