That is correct. In fact, I had been asked to change it some time ago,
but procrastinated too long.
I admit the new logo was a "quick fix", and honestly, it was donated
rather than created by me. I decided it was better than nothing, and I
am no artist, so I made a minor change to support transparency and
applied it.

Nope, you are correct. I did also note the inaccuracy of this name,
and was planning to do something about it, but I have been too tied up
with other things lately.

Sounds good. If you want, I can transfer the domain and website to
hosting of your choice and you can work on it as you see fit. I
personally have no time to work on the site myself, and I feel like
I'm doing a disservice to those who can/do.
Feel free to email me details off-list and we can do a site
backup/transfer or whatever you think is best.
