Hello there,

	I've been lurking in the background but I couldn't resist jumping in 
for this topic on naming.

Non-seriously
--------------------
How about The SqueaKeys?  :-)  After all the guides are the keys to 
opening up squeak for everyone else.
Or the Guides who say Squeak?   Sorry... that's a bad Monty Python 
reference...


	On a more serious note...  looking up some mythology related to mice 
it seems that an Indian god rides a mouse as his steed.   It seems the 
mouse is an interesting symbol since it knows no boundaries as it can 
chew its way through anything.  Perhaps the chewing part isn't a good 
image but the no boundaries seems to embody the squeak community quite 
well.

	Looking at some west european mythology and folklore it seems mice 
were considered messengers of the devil.  :-(.  Don't think that makes 
a good starting point.  Also note that in The Hitchhikers Guide to the 
Galaxy it was the mice who tried to save the earth but the humans got 
in the way.
	Maybe that gives some other starting points?

Best regards,
Alain
