   Let me clarify the situation to avoid any misunderstandings.   
   First, my software has been called "mail2dizum" on GitHub from the beginning,   
   this isn't a recent name change to capitalize on Alex's work.   
   The web interface name change simply brings it in line with the actual   
   software name for consistency.   
      
   Second, and most importantly, mail2dizum is not a competing mail2news service.   
   It's specifically a proxy/wrapper that interfaces with Alex de Joode's dizum   
   service.   
      
   It doesn't operate independently, it relies entirely on Alex's infrastructure.   
   This is why the name "mail2news" was actually misleading, as it suggested an   
   autonomous service when it's really a frontend to dizum.   
      
   Alex de Joode has been properly credited from day one.   
      
   On the main page of mail2dizum.virebent.art, there's a direct link to   
   dizum.com/Alex's blog, acknowledging his work and the underlying service that   
   makes mail2dizum possible.   
      
   The name change reflects the technical reality: this is a tool that   
   specifically works with dizum, not a generic mail2news gateway.   
      
   Rather than trying to mislead users, the new name is more accurate about what   
   the service actually does, it proxies requests to Alex's dizum service.   
      
   I hope this clarifies any confusion about the intent behind the name change.
