Ha. There is no explanation of why the mailing lists were named "Bedlam" though, and I doubt non-native readers know what it refers to. To quote Wikipedia [0]:
"Bedlam may refer to:
Bethlem Royal Hospital, London hospital first to specialise in the mentally ill and origin of the word "bedlam" describing chaos or madness"
I'm a non-native speaker and I know what Bedlam means. Thanks to Ultima Online and Diablo :)
