Hi Tiddler,
Thanks for explaining how it makes you feel.
Hmm. I’m sorry that the name is triggering this for people. I thought it was something cool and exciting. Part of me actually likes the idea that for a minimal fee you can jump into an exclusive area and be an insider. And the only reason you wouldn’t is… Well, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to be an insider. Cause as I say, we’ve been outsiders.
But I don’t want to lose great people because of a name. I can see how it might make people feel left out.
The main problem is that when we went through the list of 300 names I came up with, the only one that jumped at us all was ‘Insider.’ So we have paid for the printing of thousands of coupons for people who pledge to PBS during the run of our new program, “ADD & Mastering It?!” And the coupons are for two months free membership to the Insider area… So this is going to get messy when they come looking… Hmm.
But hey, perhaps something can be done. I’ll ask the web folks.
In the meantime, can someone come up with a better name that everyone likes? Anyone?
