Also, just to be clear: the arguments about calling it a chapter are
because "chapter" is a term with a specific meaning; and to the extent that
it is defined in LOPSA's by-laws and that those by-laws have an impact on
LOPSA as a legal entity, "off label" uses potentially have legal
ramifications. Just as you can't throw around the term "engineer" randomly
in Canada because it has specific legal meaning there (or did last I
heard), you need to be careful about throwing the term "chapter" around.
