[malgosia:] 
But isn't this exactly what this list _is_?

[me:]
hmm.  my meger resolve wavers (as i said, i wouldn't call me 'serious').
i still would like a name that relects what the list 'is', one that
establishes it as something more open.
on the other hand, this list is an excellent example of how the 
name is only a starting-point in terms of how a list lives.
inertia begins to weigh me down - which is why tom said "hurry!" ?
maybe it is more fun to open up 'closed' names....

is the name (merely) image? 
and if so/not, how important is the image?
