Spaw & Alex, I think the phrase you're arguing about is not the Tetragrammaton, but, as Spaw you later corrected yourself, the name the YHWH that spoke to Moshe from the burning bush. Moses said, essentially, "What's your name? If you want me to be your spokesman you'd better tell me who to tell people I'm spokesing for." And the Being in the Bush replied, "[Hebrew consonants]", which (depending on the vowels supplied, the context, and the taste of the interpreter) is usually translated "I AM that I am", but can be rendered "I will be what I will be", "I will do what I will do", and lots of variations and expansions thereon. It's early in Exodus if anybody wants to look it up, probably about chapter 3.
