I'm saying even expressing that is not correct in this scenario because nobody was discussing about *that topic* and your views were unnecessary noise! It is your right to express your view in a public mailing list of which you were a member if that is *relevant* to the topic. If someone had said 'App Y didn't work in Debian GNU/Linux' you are free to reply 'Such a such bug exists in Debian Linux'. (This is what Sibi did in the first place! he just called it GNU/Linux and did not demand that the OP should call it Linux) But instead you hijacked the thread and demanded Sibi to call it Linux. You are welcome to _express_ your views regarding naming issues in the appropriate thread. Please respect list guidelines and do not hijack threads. PS: I request fellow members not to reply to that thread because we already had enough flame wars and have heard KG's views infinite number of times. Another flame is unnecessary IMHO. -- *அகிலன்* (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) *I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.* --Jean Rostand _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
