Hi,

I don't recall anybody objecting on Taco's decision, I don't see any "endless discussions" either, all what I see is a genuine question which is, to the best of my knowledge, is first time to be asked. I'm just sating that because I don't like the implied stigmatization of any one daring to even mention the "funny logos", and no, I don't think Knuth is infallible and I find such note very offensive.
I've been asked to logo question at least a dozen times, but all off-list, as far as I remember. I don't think this was an unreasonable thread at all: there was a genuine question, considering all the already existing typographical logos in our community.
P.S. I do find the mixed casing of TeX or LaTeX more ridiculous, it doesn't even have the sense of cleverness or hack the typeset logo has.
I find that when I am writing about the 'language', I tend to use 'LuaTeX' (or the logo Lua\TeX, in typeset material) but a simple 'luatex' when referring to the binary or implementation details. This is what I will keep doing, and I don't really care or mind what anybody else uses ;) Best wishes, Taco
