The main point for not using the name "Geronimo" is that is that a name which has cultural signficance.
While you may view this as a tribute to Geronimo, or native Americans in general, or think its just a really cool name, there will be others who see it as a cynical marketing exercise. The same goes for any name with cultural or religious significance. -Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: Ned G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 20 August 2003 1:00 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Servlet and JSP engine > > > I have been reading many email with concern to the name "geronimo" and how > it could offend some if not all native Americans > tribes.
