Richard, I was the one who specifically stated in my original message (Message-ID: 16008.29099.61020.356901@mail.linux-delhi.org):
<quote> If anyone wants to tell me about the name I use for the operating system, please do so in private mail </quote>
I did NOT use the term Linux in that message. I did NOT question any policies in that message. Anyone who wanted to discuss my usage of a term could have safely sent me a private message and spared the list this whole pointless thread.
By electing to make a response to that quote on this list you automatically extended the mandate of the list to include policy discussions.
</nitpick>
