This has been discussed as long as I've been a part of AIR. It's
almost a tradition. Despite this, I can't find the discussion on the
AIR-L list so, to agree strongly with Barry:

Given our undisciplined nature (avoiding two recent threads about
disciplinarity and what's in a name, I prefer to think of us as an
"undiscipine,") I think its especially worth mixing our meta with our
discourse. Plus, a good call is sometimes cause for discussion in
itself.

Um, duh. :)
