Rename the darksiders
Just browsing around sawmill creek forum and noticed they call their hand tool fanatics Neanderthals.
So should we rename our darksiders to Neanderthals.

rename?
No way, what else would you name a practitioner of the dark arts? Neanderthal suggests you don't have any art in you at all.

At the risk of being a spelling nazi Bob, I think you mean Neanderthals or Neandertals - the cavemen whose remains were discovered in the Neander Valley in Germany. Scientific name is Homo neanderthalensis.
Did you know that the brain of the Neanderthal was roughly 10% larger than modern Homo Sapiens?
I don't think we should follow the yanks. Let's call them Homo hablis or Handy Man

Did you know that "spermology", while officially being the study of seeds, is also a term used for the study of trivia
. Ironically, only a spermologist would probably know that.

Darksiders describes this group much more accurately.
Darksiders conjures up thoughts of important secrets and skills handed down over generations by wise and enlightened people whereas Neanderthal conjures up thoughts of cavemen with primitive tools.

I kinda like the "galoot" moniker, sounds affectionate
Darksider is homegrown I hope, so sounds good too.
