                    That has some unpleasant alternative implications though...

                      I kind of like that one myself, even if I did come up with it. It's an unused keyword that will not cause parsing ambiguity.

                            It really depends upon their particular breed (e.g., a flock of geese but a murder of crows). One that fits well is "An Infestation of Agile Developers".

                                  The responses are very funny unfortunately someone might take this seriously so we need to let identity stay in the political area of our society and not let it enter our profession. Such a sad state but it is what it is for now BTW I would prefer a Dorkal :D

                                        That would be a group of electrical engineers.
