Tumbleweed is a good and apt name and is not connotative of something undesirable or disagreeable. And I have lived in the mid-west farming area for >80 years and spent time in the west. tumbleweed are just tumbleweeds and provide something different for the landscape.

I think that Tumbleweed is an apt name. It just keeps rolling along! The occasional hiccup is to be expected, just as the weed hits an obstacle every once in a while. I still like the name. Larry

Honestly, me too, still. The major character of our distribution is nicely reflected (tumbling), and being the better dope for our computers is hitting the nail directly. Whoever came up with that name, that was in a genius move! Not sure, if I'm able to get the invasive nature of the name sponsor out of my head again. Especially when there is a terrible invasion going on in its country of origin. Therefore, it reflects the brightest parts, as well as some dark aspects. Just like in real life..
