I really like the name 'vegamite' though I have no idea what it really is. 
I know it must be a food item of some sort because I remeber the term 
'vegemite sandwich' from an old Men At Work song.  Anyone care to enlighten
me?  Maybe we should change it to 'vegemight' to eliminate the trademark 
concern and the diminutive connotation of 'mite' at the same time.  This
isn't an acronym anymore though.  

I *do* agree with Richard, however, in that this may be exclusive to non-
veggies.  In the same vein then, shouldn't we have been  'vegetarianism 
support group' all this time?  Do any non-veggies have an opinion on this?
