Ah, I see (I pulled my above quotes from their respective websites, so for sure Phiota's history wouldnt account for losing ALL but one of their chapters). Now, I don't know if it's a big deal to either org but I'd think they'd hash that out.
Unless they've agreed that "oldest", "first", and "largest" can co-exist peacefully.
