Re: [DotGNU]greek, egyptian gods(was [Load Balancer Proposal]<Original>Stargazer)

My point on obscurity is that the further divorced a programs name is 
from it's purpose, or the more inside the joke is, or the more of a pun 
the name is; the less likely people are to think "Oh, I need that", when 
they need _that_. Thus, my vote still goes for "DotGNU Load Balancer" as 
we can be relatively rest assured that no-one will be confused as to the 
intended purpose of a program so named. :-)
