This isn't so much an objection as an observation; Remember the US Gov't has
proposed an 'encryption' technology called CLIPPER; You run the risk of over-
loading the name.
I know the DBASE Clipper product was first but that is not really relevant
since the purpose of a newsgroup name is to focus discussion; Unless you can
somehow focus the name so it is obvious you are refering to the database
product rather than the chip, you will have provided an 'obvious' home for
discussion on the CLIPPER chip technology (along with the privacy/security/
political threads.)
