I also agree that this discussion is stretching on forever. Will someone get the
repoll over with quickly (that is if someone is taking the responsibility, or
else i will see to it). I still stress that the phrase 'sherlock holmes' or
'baker street' should be included in the name as it will be recognisable by non
homesians also. I had also suggested a name "The Khidmutgars of Baker Street".
This name had a very strong indian AND canonical reference and also includes the
said phrase. Khidmutgar mean servants.

I agree Sumal, we need to get on with discussing canonial issues.
However if we seek recognition as a serious Holmesian group then the
name ought to spread and be recognizable.

Probably because of my extensive research on the canon-thugee
connection and the excitement of possible pastiches I'm still biased
towards the original name of "The Baker Street Thugees". However if
this repoll list does not include that name then my second and very
reluctant choice is "Guardians of the Agra Treasure". The name by
itself still does not ring any bell with the casual Holmes literatti.

Again the condition that i am voting for GAG is that TBST is not in
the repoll list. However if it is in the repoll list then I would
stick to TBST and NOT consider GAG at all.
