Should you observe that FarsiWeb is the name of our project, and
we don't feel like changing it, and it has nothing to do with
Persian or Farsi argument.  On the other hand, there's another
list called PersianComputing.  Do you require someone named
Davood to change his name to David?

different people at different times on different lists.

I agree with this idea. By the way I suggest changing FarsiWeb mailing
list to PersianWeb mailing list.
