I'll give you a "me too."

This whole sordid thread has smacked of sour grapes (rancid gnu?).  I've
little sympathy for users being harassed into calling Linux something
else, just to please a group/person with a rather extreme political
agenda.  

If they're that desperate, they can go harass the people that actually
name the distributions, and see just how far they (don't) get in having
the names changed.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
