No explanation given as to why a concern would operate under the name "Silk Road"?

Why would you name a company SilkRoad Inc. and have the domain name "silkroad.com"? I just got asked to adjust my spam-filter to receive something from "silkroad.com" and, having no interest in buying slaves or stuff like that, I said "No way!" Okay, I need not have been so frightened, but if you are just a human-resources company WHY USE THAT NAME?!?!? Or "CrucifyTheInfidels.com" or anything else that sends the wrong message? What about the fact that they wouldn't HAVE to ask me to adjust my spam-filter if they didn't have that name? OF COURSE my anti-spam trap is not going to let that come through! So, that's really bad business-planning, isn't it? Why not use the name "TalentAcquistion.com"?2604:2000:C682:2D00:1DC5:9EAB:B1AA:AA4B (talk) 01:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Astonished[reply]
