[Geysers] Geyser names

[Freund, Udo]

I humbly submit that another feature in the Kaleidoscope group needs to
be named before we focus on the Biscuit Basin thing.  In my opinion "New
Thing Far Left" is a TERRIBLE name that has persisted far too long.  If
another feature were to break out to the left of NTFL would it become
"Newer Thing Even Further Left"?  Could we agree that NTFL become
"Football Geyser".  It's easy to drop the T from NTFL, which then
becomes NFL -- the acronym for the National Football League, or more
simply Football.
 
And why do we need to name the Biscuit Basin feature after a mineral?
Not that I object to that -- I'm just asking.
 
Thanks, 
Udo Freund

	Melanite is a variety of andradite.
	 
	I agree that making up a name for this new geyser(s) should be
delayed for a while for the reasons stated below.

	Well, then there is the iron-iron garnet, melanite, which is
truly black... But as for that spring at Biscuit, probably we need to
wait on a name, or simply come up with something "generic" as 1) the
spring might not persist; and 2) the "black" part likely will not stay
black.
