We're currently fighting a battle for simple > adoption; I don't care to wage an additional war for syntactic purity. it's not syntactic purity. it is hard-coded fact. what the hell is "syntactic purity", anyway? and really - battles and wars? fuck that. you gotta stop watching fox news ;) no one expects anyone to use GNU/Linux in everyday conversations and the like, but when you're creating a website or wiki, it's only fair and proper that GNU/Linux is used at least somewhere ... the GNU licence and software is the most important aspect of Linux, so to diminish its importance to a mere matter of semantics is both ignorant and ... ignorant. by all means, do what you want - but you can have yr fruitcake and eat it, too. shayne
