Re: [Harp-L] SPAH moniker

[Michelle LeFree <mlefree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 HarpManSam pointed to a blog article in which he (I think it was he) 
pointed out:

"I belong to an organization called the Society for the Preservation and 
Advancement of the Harmonica, or SPAH, <http://www.spah.org/> which I 
think is an unfortunate acronym because it sounds like the name of an 
alien life form from a Star Trek movie, or the sound someone might make 
after taking a slug out of a can of beer that has been used as an ash tray."

I've been much too active on Harp-L lately so I've been trying to shut 
up. But Sam really does have a point here. With all due respect to the 
founders, SPAH should have a contest to rename itself, maybe here on 
Harp-L. In the spirit of marketing the organization it would be 
preferable to have it named something that you don't have to s_p_e_l_l  
o_u_t, each and every time you try explain what the organization is. A 
meaningful acronym or abbreviation would be easier to sell.

"HarmonicasRUs" is probably taken, though... ;-)
