Please read threads from 1998 -- everyone has bitched about the name from
the very beginning of the project. You can thank some harried Netscape
employee who was too busy in the crush of getting the source out (see the
"Code Rush" documentary) to do more than piggyback on Netscape's existing
public newsfeed.

It was a mistake we've paid for ever since.
