At the risk of having history repeat itself, by voting spontaneously on business decisions that are completely in the hands of Robert Shubert (and getting everyone into a sour mode in the process).
How about we not start asking for things that have absolutely no bearing on whether you'll stay a Tango/Witango programmer or not. I mean after all, if you're still here after all the sh*t that's gone on (and not gone on), what makes you folks think that changing the name will make any difference now? If Robert felt strongly enough about a name change after such an ambitious business move, he would have done it by now. I'm sure it's occurred to him. Please leave Robert some sense of accomplishment after putting his neck out on the line, before you start striping away at his ability to control the product he owns. Think about it. He's gone public with the purchase and a new business plan - changing the name now would kill any and all momentum built thus far. Have a nice day now.
