I think comp.lang.antlr would be an unbiased and fair name since antlr is 
non- commercial and as fresh off the press (or soon to be).  (Ask

(Yes this is a cheap advertisement for antlr, but I'm pretty sure antlr will 
be free so I don't feel guilty.  (By the way, MDBS doesn't have any idea
what antlr is either, so they aren't benefiting from this either.))

"antlr" is pronounced "antler"
