It already is as official as it can be, since Kirk (the inventor) prefers this name. And by the way, it isn't "his". According to Kirk, it is neither male nor female.

There's nothing that supports that assumption. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
