Anyway, our group is called Retail IT Documentation, and our group email
address is "retailitdocs". Since we're all of a slightly crazy mind-set
from time to time, we have taken to calling ourselves the Retail IT Ducks.
(I know, I know, a lousy pun.) We use a yellow duck as our symbol. I know
that if we had such ornamentation in our cube village, our street sign would
be a yellow duck.
