They are now investigating IF a name change should be done. Apparently, they've been getting "some" complaints ... Anyway, they are now "accepting" the Engineers as a CHOICE in the name change contest! (something they wouldn't do when they started the contest!) At press time however, the vote was "2 to 1 in favor of a change ... but no one has come up with a good alternative yet". And ... oh ... yeah ... they only had just over 60 votes!!!! So please ...
