Allow me to confirm this. Search through the archives; this suggestion has been made several times in the past. Essentially, it comes down to the fact that you can't solve a social problem with technology. No matter what name we choose, *someone* will be able to misinterpret that name to mean "Oh, that's where I should be posting". Given that *some* confusion is inevitable, and there's a cost to changing the name, the repeated decision has been to stick with what we've got, however imperfect it may be.
