Computer Numerically Controlled Rumors...

Eh...

I'm biased towards Rumor Lathe...

My vote stands.

Rumor mill just sounds too...plain. Change the name to anything else

I don't think I could change it.
It was 'Rumor Mill' before I got here.

But.... Brandon=CD god... i am so disillusioned now

/me shakes head

Notice that the poll asks whether the name should be changed to rumour lathe, not rumor lathe.

Lathe? bah, who needs lathes? just chuck the part in a hand held drill and have some one run it on high. Pull out your cut off bit (leatherman flat head screw driver) and have fun.

Instant (cheap) lathe.

Anywho, Rumor lathe does sound cool...

It was rumor mill at National back at 99'... A big piece of paper on a stand in front of Chief Delphi's pit area... And beside it a poster of all CD posters' picture, about a hand full of them I would say. You will have to ask all of those posters before you make a change to the name "rumor mill".

It's just a tradition you can't easily change... Its like the definition of a "meter":

The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second. (17th CGPM (1983), Rés. 1).


Or the definition of a "wheel":

- wheel·less /'hwE(&)l-l&s, 'wE(&)l-/ adjective

Hmm... Well, maybe not as big as the definition of a wheel...

Ack! The British are at it again!

And I voted no just because like Ken said, it's a tradition.

Bah...

Party poopers...

Well, while we're at it, why not "Rumor CNC"?

Why? IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT

That's why its rumor MILL

No.

Poncy British and their extra u...

As much as I like lathes, I really think Rumor Mill sounds better. Sorry.

Aw, Geez! Is NOTHING sacred??
 

Why do you want to go and change 'The Rumor Mill'?
That's what it IS...a rumor mill. Old and venerable term. Not a lathe....a mill.

name
 

yes, please chang the name of rumor mill!

What about the low-budget teams?
 

What's all this with mills and lathes? Who has any of that? I'm thinking "rumor drill press" or "rumor 3/4-inch wrench."

new name
 

Here's a name we could move to THE RUMOR BLENDER (a bunch of crap but well respected ideas/comments put into 1 area.)

I'm not too sure on this one. I don't think I would change it but that's just my opinion.

now that i think about it
 

why do we even need to change the name? there really is no reason to. it's not hurting anyone, is it? if anything, we should change some of the posts that go in here. we could kind of keep the not so important or "stupid" as some people may call it, ones out.

We should have a "rumor mill" for the important rumors and a "rumor drill press" for the less important rumors :P

It has been a while since we have discussed this. The pole shows more people in favor than not.

Machining all started with the lathe. The first few were made with castings, and the ways were hand scraped. Then, it duplicated itself until it became more and more precise. Then, it made all the other machine tools. If it were not for the lathe, there would be no mill.

The lathe was the first one and that fact should not be forgotten.

Now, I do have respect for the other main machining tool so I would vote to change the name to Rumor Lathe/ Mill

Or for those who want to be really fair they would say Rumor Machine, but that is dumb.

I believe the word Lathe in the naming of this forum would bring great honor to the historic machine and add a little humor to the boards as well.

So, when will the change be taking place?

Based on the current results of this thread, I think it should be called the "Rumor Chicken." :)

C'mon, Dave... We all know the Rumor Egg came before the Rumor Chicken.
