And why would they still be calling themselves Colonists after existing for thousands of yarhens as an independant civilization?
Any thoughts???

I was always of the opinion that the "7th millenium" was a reference to the exodus from Kobol, i.e, the age of the Colonies
as colonies.
Regarding the usage of the word, "Colonist" or "Colonies", it's likely that the original colonists who emigrated from Kobol used the terminology so often that, it just caught on as the vernacular.....colonist instead of citizen, colony instead of planet, etc.....
