I think a majority of people on this list will be familiar with Pulp Fiction ;) And I wasn't arguing that "GIMP" is a nice name, it's just that I don't understand the reasoning enunciated in the original e-mail. Saying "I don't want GNOME to be associated with SM leather bound dudes" is better than (possibly) creating connections that don't exist between 2 words. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
