little_kit's question was a perfectly legitimate one for this board's intended purpose as I understand it. And I never said I assumed that few people on this board knew it; I challenged first that her question was inappropriate and second that many people in the States know how to pronounce it. Several of the responses little_kit got conceded that this name might be mispronounced "ny-amh" or "nee-amh," lending credence to my feeling that there could be confusion. What I really took issue with was the clear attitude that this is a name nerd clique into which little_kit's question, and evidently my response, is intruding. I may be new around here, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to the real world, this board aside. I don't get that cliquish feeling from very many posts, but if that's the case - and you seem as willing as
Eden to speak for your "majority" - then this whole board can piss in the wind without me. Enjoy the rest of your majority life.
