   It's tne Name Change of Death, as usually adopted by networks that start   
   considering changing their content format to a "lifestyle" demographic,   
   strapping on their waterskiis, and looking for sharks...   
      
   See also Cartoon Network's change to "CN" when they started showing   
   live-action shows, and Toon Disney's change to take "Toon" out of their   
   name.   
      
   Derek Janssen (this way, nobody can complain about their not showing any   
   "syfy", as nobody knows what that is)
