As much as I agree with you on the sucks thing. We are dealing with
l'americans and the sad truth is they don't get it, unless you add AM/PM :)

Hans I agree with him here. It is non professional and it is not a
legal name or entity. I would change it to your real name or let
someone else make the quote. You want quotes to be verifiable and sound
extremely legit. Using pseudonymns doesn't help either (especially
when they don't even look like normal names)
Don't take that as a name criticism. I like der.hans as a name. I
think you should make it legal and go by DH or something. :)

I agree it should be Arizona Open Technology Association (AZOTO). I
understand your point, but we need to play the by the gramar rules.
