[humanser] Greetings

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, well stated!
Look at what happend to RFB they have completely squeezed the need 
upon which the organization was founded, out of the name! We then, 
don't wanna turn our purpose which, I thought, was human service into 
some kind of confusingly misguided alphabet soup of suggestions.
