Hi, Dave, List,

    Somebody's doing some good PR for Namibia.
Take the name "Namibia." If you look at the nice
Wikipedia article on Namibia, the facts are all there:
one of the lowest population densities in the world,
one of the most rain-deprived countries in the world
(like none), one of the least blessed by economic
resources, a sad history, and so forth. But nowhere
in the article will you find the name that "Namibia"
went by for centuries: THE SKELETON COAST.

    Getting people to stop calling you "The Skeleton
Coast" is a good job of PR. There's just something
about the name "The Skeleton Coast" that puts people
off, don't you think?

Sounds like a great tourist destination, a big rock, alcoholics and drug
addicts, crime, town in debt up to their ears, danger of electricity amd
water being turned off, high unemployment, and a large military presence.
Well pack my bags!
Poorly thought out release by Mr. Kangueehi, maybe the spoof and phish
people will move to Namibia for the new center of commerce.
