Oscar fits right in then. Not only Mark's deceased cat but also the name of a Sesame Street character and I think it might have been The six-million Dollar Man's boss. It's been too long since I've seen that show, I can't really remember for sure. Oscar Goldman, the Director of the OSI (played by Richard Anderson). Hey, I was right for a change!! :-) Oscar the Grouch, Quite a Muppet too, Yeah I remember Him, He lived in a trash can back then, Today I don't know as times have changed.

A few years back, SetiUSA (my former team) raised a significant amount of $ (over $6k I believe) and they were not allowed to request the naming of a server. Before we go through all this voting--can we have some confirmation (by posting in this thread) from Eric himself as to whether this will or will not be allowed. Just trying to have fun......

Yes, it could be the start of Sesame Street names. It could also be the first in the line of Emmy, Golden Globe, and Pulitzer. If the Canucks come up with the bucks, we could have Juno and Gemini. And so on. ID: 1032034 ·

Eric-thanks for chiming in. I don't remember the specifics and I no longer have access to the Setiusa boards to reread the discussion. I really personally didn't have a concern but I know the Team Owner emailed you and you flat-out said no. That much I remember. I have vague recollections, but I don't see anything in my old mail (which is unusual, since I keep just about everything going back to 1985 or so. Hardware included. An accidental loss. Maybe a character in an email address that my autosort couldn't handle.) I think the only things I would have vetoed were using the team name, or advertising something. Then again, I have been known to change my mind. I can't claim that I ever was able to change Angela's mind, though. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) ID: 1032052 ·
