Re: [Proposal] Code Names

+1 for dropping the "�ber". Regardless of what *we* associate with it, if it means that people start to think of us as a bunch of nazis, it has to go. I'm all for the name "Avalon Container" - since there will be only one.

That said, I would also like to immediately kill the notion that there was any intent of inserting a Nazi reference in talking about an "�bercontainer".


FACTOID OF THE DAY

The concept of an "�bermensch", or "over man" (also called "super man"), was introduced by Nietzsche, and *not* by Hitler. See this link for more information about the influence of those thought on National Socialism:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche/#7

"Later, during the 1930's, aspects of Nietzsche's thought were
espoused by the Nazis and Italian Fascists, partly due to the
encouragement of Elisabeth F�rster-Nietzsche through her
solicitations with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. It was
possible for the Nazi interpreters to assemble, quite
selectively, various passages from Nietzsche's writings whose
juxtaposition appeared to justify war, aggression and
domination for the sake of nationalistic and racial
self-glorification."
