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).
