There is democracy, and there is mob rule. The former is ethical. The latter is anarchic. I know which I’ll subscribe to. Plus, I am not sure Ed is correct. In many important jurisdictions, trademark rights exist whether or not they are registered. Since US Communications Decency Act 230 immunity provisions do not apply to trademarks, a complaint to Google would likely get the group closed for the group owners if they do not wish to abide by societal norms for ethics.

The MapHist forumat > http://www.maphist.nl/forum is the successor of thelistserv. ***** I agree with Peter's comment that othersshould not use the name "MapHist," the short form of"Map History Discussion List." It may be legal to do so, but, in myopinion, immoral. See my text below concerning how the namecame into being. Thanks.
