OT: Actually, Very Much On Topic

| As a VB developer I lurk in this froup daily and of course google around for
VB solutions from time to time.
And then there is the task of sifting through the VBA and dot Fred hits.
Very time consuming.
So, I was thinking, that we as a group could self identify with our own
moniker to help search engine responses. Helping seperate the wheat from the
chaff, so to speak.
Google tells us that Bill Vaughn coined the Visual Fred term (1) and Ben
Baird touched on the phrase Visual George (2) to describe the next (
hypothetical ) incompatable version of VB.
But why can't we as a group co-opt the term Visual George to segregate
*classic VB* from this new breed.
Existing VB sites could add George to their metatags to increase search
engine hits more relevant to classic VB.
Not much we can do about the google archives though.
So, what say ye?

If you really insist on a "friendly" name, there's a much better choice than 'Fred' or 'George'.

How about VB.Carp in order to pass unfriendly filters (the actual name I
have in mind reverses the positions of the "a" and "r").<g>
