Is that like 'Freedom Fries'?

Exactly like Freedom Fries. With less starch. No reason not to use the same tactics the government uses. Patriot Act? Ha. This frames any attempts to thwart the security by the government as anti-freedom. The "liberty mail" recommendation in here was good too :D

In that case why not go big, "Counter-terrorism Mail", or "Homeland Security Mail".

For the love of all that is holy, please use any forum software other than phpBB. We have Discourse, NodeBB and Vanilla forum now.

Isn't that bike shedding?

Not necessarily. Bike shedding refers to arguing about trivial issues. Naming can have a huge impact on how something is perceived so I wouldn't call it trivial.

How many regular users have ever heard of terms like IP, TCP or HTTP? Arguing about naming is the very definition of bike shedding and of course it is trivial.
