review is actually a noun!?!?!?!???
I have recently had an English writing class and I can tell you that in the context of www.unixreview.com, the word "review" to 99% of us is a verb. We see that as a rehash, conversation, or review(verb) of the unix topic.
However, The word review is seen first as an event not an action as we are used to. They appear to be using it as an event as a "Music review", in the vaudeville frame of reference, is an event or "Military review" is an event. Also, as in an Book review by a critic.
According to www.merriamwebster.com, the word review is listed first as a noun. They reference the word as "judicial review" where judicial is the adj and review is a noun as an event.
Although I dont agree with this "view", pun intended, it does appear to meet the requirements, much to www.unixreview.com's relief I am sure.
Sorry for the english lesson, but I thought it was pertinent to the issue.
So any of the suggestions that we have made, could meet the requirements.
www.unixforum.com
www.unixchat.com
www.unixtalk.com
www.unixOS.com
www.unix(insertanynounhere).com
So there may be only one eventual course of action for Neo, and that would be to rename this site. Eventhough we think that he has a right to the name. It may be a moot point if the big boys win this thing.
Perish the thought!!

FYI, you can always find the URL for this site at the URL:
http://www.silkroad.com/
However, based on the WIPO regulations, I hope we will win the domain dispute and X/Open will not be successful in reverse-hijacking this domain. This is a noncommerical site and was registered in good faith in 1993. If we loose, I will consider an appeal and spend another small fortune in legal fees
No matter what happens, this is the most professional, commerical free, classy UNIX site in the world. I appreciate very much all the class and outstanding support. (that I know of!) Regardless of what happens, let's keep it classy and professional. Thanks!
