[Palindrome] Team name run-off



I thought this year's team-naming process would be simple because last 
year there were only two real contenders: Snafu Fans, with 12 votes, 
(which won the run-off) and Dauqsquad, with 11 votes (all of them first or 
second place).  But no, Dauqsquad was not the overwhelming favorite this 
year.  In fact, we have another run-off.

So, please tell *me* (not the list) which of the following three names 
you'd prefer for our team:

-- Dauqsquad (dawk-skwad): A team devoted to palindromes.

-- Ecroforce (ECK-roe-force): E'craser is French for "to crush."  
Alternatively, Mike Korn defines "ecroforce" as "a force which is applied 
equally in both directions, in accordance with Newton's Third Law of 
Motion."  Every force is an ecroforce.

-- Yrtalatry (ear-TALL-uh-tree): Worship of palindromes.

When you vote, please put your favorite team name in the *SUBJECT* line of 
your message, with nothing in the body of the message, so I can count them 
quickly.  Poll closes in 24 hours, give or take.

Please feel free to vote even if you didn't vote earlier.  In fact, I 
encourage it.  (This includes you, newcomers.)

For those who are interested:

[First place vote = 1, second place vote = 2]

   1 vote :  Snafu Fans [write-in], Yhposophy [write-in], Aehrrhea, Muium, 
Ymonomy 
   2 votes:  Ainamonomania, La Bacabal
   3 votes:  Ytility
   5 votes:  Yrtalatry    [11122]
   6 votes:  Dausquad   [112222]
   6 votes:  Ecroforce   [111122]

These names will return next year for your consideration, as will "It's 
Been Awful Quiet Around Here Since the Goldfish Died," which I intend to 
keep introducing until it wins.
