[PD] webring name and url (!) changed to pd_ring

[Dafydd Hughes]

Yeah - I'm pretty sure that's completely groundless. You should send a 
copy to BoingBoing. They love that stuff.

Understandable that you don't want to get into it with a big company, 
but I bet they don't have any legal leg to stand on.

It's a real bummer. The pd webring is where I first learned a lot of 
stuff about the language. Sucks that people think they own the word.
