arrival dinner idea

[Ya'akov Sloman]

Dave:

I know you well enough to know that you intend nothing negative with the "anti-" prefix. If there is any reason to change it, it is to make clear that to people that don't know this isn't a genuinely "anti-" event.

As communities grow, inside jokes become more obscure and intent more occult.  I don't think that renaming is a necessity, but evolution is a good thing and if you feel it's a positive change, I'd say go for it.

The "anti-" has always been a joke, and is not intended to reflect any actual opposition to the arrival dinner. If people really dislike it, I'm happy to rename to the wiki page. Maybe we can call it AltArrivalDinner or something like that?
