There is nothing misleading about the name of the reflector.
Antennaware is a contraction of "Antenna Software" which very
clearly describes modeling software.
Further, if you go to the list page on the web (the link is
at the bottom of EVERY message), your will find the title:
"Antenna ware -- Antenna Modeling, Programs, and Theory"
