I wouldn't sweat it, it doesn't look like they even have
a valid trademark on the name "Bomp":

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=ik2lkc.1.1

Plus, you have the added protection of not living in the
U.S.

You should probably still change the name of the list just
to be a nice guy, or maybe just stick a fork in it and put
it out its misery.

But if their lawyer starts threatening you, tell 'em to
piss up a rope...
