Another person with branding experience calls Dueling Grounds “too cute,” that it takes too much thinking. Why would coffee grounds fight a duel? What is it about the coffee grounds that “duels?”

I greatly appreciate the feedback. Feel free to take your own informal surveys and let us know your findings.

Both names are nice, but I vote for The Dueling Grounds.

Of course, Buffalo Trace (or Dueling Grounds) could be brands for a signature blend of coffee…

I never understood what “Buffalo Madison” meant, but yes, you are correct. Ann’s researched it a little bit and so have I. From what we gather, the buffalo has nothing to do with the trace, but yes, some could be confused. I know they closed and sold their equipment in Clarksville. Someone thinks they took over the IUS concession.

A thought: There were a couple of Buffalo Madison (?) coffee shops hereabouts a few years ago. I’m not sure whether there would be any confusion; just tossing it up.

I like Dueling Grounds, myself.

Comment on "Lost Constitution" Satisfies by William Martin

Mr. Smith:

My thanks, almost two years late, for the kind comments you posted about “The Lost Constitution.” I just came across your site while doing a bit of Google searching. So better late than never. I’m hard at work finishing another in the Peter Fallon series, to be called “Full Faith and Credit,” for next spring (2010) from Tor/Forge. It’s set in Manhattan. And two of my earlier titles, “Annapolis” and “Citizen Washington” will also soon be reissued by Tor/Forge. So… I’m glad that you have discovered me, I appreciate that you have spread the word, and I hope that some of your readers enjoy my books, too.

Best, Bill Martin

Comment on Universal, federal election registration now by Highwayman

I agree wholeheartedly with the concept of a federal voter registration program.

However, given the Feds propensity to initiate a program & then throw it back to the individual states to administer as they see fit will result in yet more confusion.

Case in point. The whole conversation about a Commercial Drivers License was to end up with one universal license & test procedure.

Handing it back to the states resulted in 50 different testing procedures and licenses. In addition the costs of getting them has quadrupled in most cases.

The result has been more confusion & costs to the trucking industry than the system it replaced ever generated.

Hey, but thanks for playing. I’ll delete those, Trent, if you like, but I’d just as soon leave your comments up. Let me know.

Wait, I didn’t read your entire article.
Serves me right, now I look like a doofus.
