Subject: Re: [hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight name change will happen
I think it's worth asking, have those same lawyers yet stumbled upon The Shire?
I agree with the most recent postings about PHBs and the name "Hobbit", but I wonder if the lawyers would accept HOBBIT (as opposed to Hobbit or H.O.B.B.I.T.). All caps would seem to imply it as an acronym, not needing those ugly periods.
