Re: drgenius v. dr-genius

Please do standardize! I have found myself refering to it as Dr. Genius,
DrGenius, drgenius, dr-genius, dr.g, etc. I don't think the '-' is
necessary in this name so my vote would be for drgenius. BUT, I think this
should only be used as a name of a package, directory name, excecutable
name, etc. where spaces are not resonable. The user should probably know
it as Dr. Genius, and I think that is how it should be displayed
throughout the UI. I think that a lot of packages do this, for example
Latex identifies itself as LaTeX but the debian package name is latex and
the excecutable is latex iirc. It just doesn't make sense to have caps or
spaces in unix excecutable names, but it does make sense for the name of a
cool project.

Oh, and can whoever runs the mailing list fix this annoying reply-to:
header? I am tired of accidentally hitting "use reply to address" and
sending my email only to the list as I am now.
