Should We Change Our Name?

[EDITORIAL]: The word "cordite" has an explosive meaning. The "smell of cordite" emanating from a smoking gun has become somthing of a cliche in western culture, conjuring up images of corrall shoot-outs, hard-boiled detectives and street-fighting years.

Given the current events in Iraq, do you think it's appropriate for a poetry magazine to have such a name? Also, our slogan has always been "words are bullets", a phrase coined by former Australian politician Bill Hayden but is this tactless? Or are we being too precious? Let us know what you think - leave us a comment.
