1.  I appreciate all the spam on this...makes me feel like I am in 
Hawaii.
2.  Whatever happened to giving ppl the benefit of the doubt?  That is 
to say, would it have been sufficient for the people in question who 
questioned the usage or play-on-words to have written a short email 
directly to the person in question to express their opinion...I am not 
certain of the original poster's position but they seemed to mean it in 
terms of kindness/humor without any sense of insult intended.  If 
anything since these ML can be quite intimate; we same the ppl over and 
over there can to develop a sense of familiarity with each other and 
others within our perceived sphere of community -- namely Mac, Perl, 
and OSS.
3.  I concur that there are many levels of gray in this -- and we need 
to take care to not overly offend other persons' sensibilities...but 
does the "community" response equal the intent of the original poster?
4.  This has all been highly entertaining.  Amazing how email promotes 
such passive-aggressive behaviors.  GRRR.  haha. ;)

Let us now play nicely with each other.
