   Instead of trying to combine Epoch and Lemacs together, why not a whole
new name? How about Eon, one step beyond Epoch?

Ok, I just thought of another one: Lucid Emacs With Illinois Extras
(LEWIE).  This would be especially good on Sparcstations and other machines
that have sound capabilities because you could have the computer play "Louie
Louie" as the official LEWIE theme song every time you invoke it.

Actually, the position of Lucid Emacs Official Theme Song has already
been filled by "There Goes the Neighborhood" by Body Count.  "We're
here.  We ain't goin' nowhere.  We're movin' right next door to you..."

Following this train of thought, how about Leon?

Other editors have people-names too, just look at Ed and Vi...

    binge - Binge is Nearly GNU Emacs
    liage - Liage Is Almost GNU Emacs

The latter would maintain some of the flavor of Epoch by generating continual
"Is it pronounced Lie-Age, or Lee-Ahge?" etc. questions.

Or, in keeping with the spirit of the '80's

    newage (and have a contest to figure out what the e and w are)

or 
    mirage - Mirage Is Really Almost GNU Emacs

P.S.  did you ever have one of those postings you wish you'd never made?..
