I like 'Remove'. I don't necessarily agree with you about it being limited to IRC geeks and gamers, but that's a separate debate. :)
I'd be happy with "Remove" as well - I just don't think "Evict" conveys the action as well. > I also prefer 'Exclude/Include'.

That might make more sense - we could either mute them or exclude (deaf + mute) them. > It's most important that we project the image of a > professionally-produced product.

The point I was mostly trying to make is that "kick" is merely a shorthand for "kick out" - just as "Apply" is shorthand for "Apply changes" - while "Apply" is obviously more widely used, it is still the same thing. Would everyone be happy if we still stayed away from "Kick" but used "Remove" instead? _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev
