Re: Society Names

Hi Anand, fellow Sherlockians,

Good going with the names. I was out for the weekend and missed the
flurry of activity. I too would like to take a shot at the name.
However for now I like the "Great Indian Sherlockian Society". I'd
like to think there may be a reference to an secret indian
tribe/society of the Victorian era like the "Thugees" in the canon
somewhere. (BTW that is the Indian origin of the English word "thug").

Kudos to you on the proactive letters you sent which evoked the
responses. Looking forward to chatting when I'm online.
