[New-imc] Re: [Imc-vlaanderen] IMC Belgium and proposed new IMC Vlaanderen

[Shayne O'Neill]

All prospective IMC's tend to use the name. Its just part of collective
building. There is a gray area where the name is abused (see beach cities
aka KOBE-IMC) but I think this is just obsfucating the issue.

Of course my old warning still stands. FRIENDLY SMELLY AUSTRALIANS MIGHT
INVADE BELGIUM FOR THE PURPOSE OF HUGGING PEOPLE HAPPY! ;)

Chill folks :)
