Something about BRB forebodes ominously. “Be right back”, for those who instant message, often takes longer than expected… going idle for an interminable wait, logged off, never to reappear again. I hope that's not our future.

Since the LLC has been using the as yet unregistered trademark “Black Rock Gazette”, they have the legal rights. (Durg, correct me if Nevada trademark law differs.) The argument M2, as original copyright holder back in 1992, could grant it to Borg2 makes no sense: copyrights apply to specific works of creation, each distinct issue or edition. Rather than let the trademark go dormant, when in 5(?) years it comes up for grabs, what chance have we of getting it from them now as a gift to the community?

As a well-known name, brand and trademark, even outside Black Rock City and Burning Man, “Black Rock Gazette” is a valuable asset, more now than later. Simply to abandon it without trying seems irrational.

Or maybe i've attached too much sentimentality to the name? Anyone else feel the same?
