Have to agree with this completely. I was talking with a guy from U. Mass.
at the Meat Out about names for a VSG type of group (specifically, about the
fact that he was trying to figure out what to call such a group which he was
trying to start out there) and he really liked VSG. I personally don't see
any bad connotations of 'support group' in the context of our name. And hey,
we _are_ here to support each other, and to help support new people becoming
vegetarians. So there.
