I wrote to SI tech support and asked. It might help if you write too. Tell them you are humiliated and mortified to be posting on a thread with a title like "The New and Improved Pro Choice Action Team ". Tell them it is causing unbelievable emotional pain. You may have to sue them if they don't change the name. That's good. Tell them that.
