[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Willie, just a note to say that the term "blink" is used and understood
by those who attended the school for the blind in Brantford, Ontario.
Other Canadians who attended residential school in the west, namely
Jericho Hill in the Vancouver area have not been on the echo lately, so
we cannot get a verification from them as to their use of the term.  No
need to change the echo name.  As you stated, it is up to individual
sysops to name it in whatever manner best describes it for them.
Nothing seen in my area would be viewed in a negative fashion for the
name chosen.  TTYL
