Re: rename the list

My vote is for "qlist".
Ferrari fanatics are referred to as "Tifossi". I have no clue as

Italian derivation.

"Tifossi" - those affected by tif.
Tif (typhus) - a contageous and almost 100% lethal desease. The
crisis was usually accompanied by hallucinations and delirium.
Was wide spread in the WWI theatre due to lack of basic hygene in
the trenches.

Those Ferrari fanatics certainly have a sence of humour.

BTW, the Volvo list name "swedishbricks" is also very decriptive
and shows a good sence of humour.
We might go this route but I site one major disadvantage: names
like qlist will be impossible to accidentally stumble upon while
joy-browsing by a key word. I myself found our list when I did a
search by "quattro".
The very thought that I could have missed it if were not named
quattro@coimbra.ans.net horrifies me. I feel that we will
significantly reduce the influx of newbees if we eliminate the
words "audi" or "quattro".

Aw, one more thought. I have just searched for a site named:
www.OOOO.com. It does not exist....yet. (Hint, hint!)
