		<description>Let me begin by saying thank you for this detailed response.  I know it has been a crazy week.  :)

I also very much appreciate you addressing my technical needs.

I think our sticking point here is the word &quot;movement&quot;, which you pointed out might not be the best choice of words here.  The Democratic Party is not a movement, it&#039;s an organization.  And Gangplank is perhaps more like that than a movement.  Which really strengthens your points, I think, because organizations DO need (and have) leaders.

I also want to be clear that I knew what Gangplank referred to.  My grandparents had a houseboat when I was a kid so that&#039;s what my original thought about the word was :) but my ONLY criticism of the use of the word would be as a &quot;movement&quot; name.  As an ORGANIZATION name, I think it rocks.

Even as a &quot;community&quot;, I think it makes more sense.  Gangplank the Community, Gangplank the Organization, Gangplank the Place...those all make sense to me.  And it makes the idea of being a &quot;Gangplank(e)r&quot; also make sense to me.

So I think we actually agree.  And I guess it really is just a branding issue, like you said.

Anyway, regardless of the details, I sure am glad Gangplank is around.</description>
