That's odd. In my personal experience most laymen respond rather negatively
to the term, which (or so they report) has all the wrong connotations. The
few people I know who ended up taking courses and practicing NLP, told me
they had to overcome some "disgust" with the name. Therefore it has always
seemed to me NLP's success has been _despite_ its name rather than thanks
to it.
