[etni] names

Although my head is still spinning from the clumsy complexity of the magen
calculations, there is a "major issue"  that concerns us all but has yet to
be decided. It has come to my attention that some correspondents address us
as "Etniers" while others use the generic term "Etnians".Shouldn't there be
a review committee or, at the  very least, a poll to resolve this  issue. I
suggest making the name modular and splitting it up into three parts, which
could then be interchanged or supplemented at pre-determined dates.That
would be in keeping with the spirit of the times until the next fad comes
along or the current crop of whiz-kid theorists in the ministry falls from
favour.
By the way, I always thought that the old story about a camel being a horse
designed by a committee was a trifle exaggerated.However, the more I
struggle with the bureaucratic bedlam of the NBA and the new modularity, the
more I become convinced that sanity must be restored and a simpler system
adopted. A proposal so misunderstood, even by involved and committed
Etniers/Etnians, must be intrinsically flawed. David Bar El.
