since one has been raised now is the TC goingt to revaulate the name in there next meeting?
i am proably on the border of getting the refernce being born in 1989 i have seen pulp fiction 3 or 4 times but ill
admit the name did not ring a bell or make a connection to the zed charicter. while zed is proably my least prefered choice
from the 4 option that were trade mark checked( im not going to actully express my prefernce to avoid biasing this dicsuction)
 part of me does like the irony of the Z release being zed in the same as homer j simpsoncs middel name is jay but that pun
only works if you pernouch "Z" as zed and not "zee". that is the primary asscation that think of when i here zed for Z.
The TC shoudl proably at least discuss it in the next meeting an reaffirm there previous decsion or revaulate.
