I don't think we need to optimize the list name. let's make it something
explanatory, rather than condensed.
As for multiple ways to fail: it's because you then spend all your time
entertaining "I wish" and "I must have" lists, as opposed to
concentrating on a core set of functionality and then modifying per user demand.
Take care,

I don't understand how having a list for users would set up multiple ways to
fail. It would help us contact our "market" and act as
a "market survey".
My suggestion for the list name is brlblast-users Note the contraction in the
first threee letters. This is 14 characters.
