Yeah, but that's very easy to do with a little script.

Yeah, that is really annoying.

Looks like it.

Because we have quite a bit of investment in the name (trademark etc.) 
we're not going to change it wily-nilly. But I don't mind giving it some 
thought, as the question really is annoying and confusing.

Looking at the greek mythology I only found Ladon kinda nice and 
available. It's a multi-headed dragon, which goes well with our 
multi-threading and cluster focus, and lends itself for nice logos.

Something to think of over the weekend... ;)
