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? Sterling K.

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.
