i have a question for you; you don't need to answer it to anyone but yourself. what does the word gimp mean to you and where ever could you have come up with this meaning?
when i hear the word gimp, i get a chuckle from a media image that some pack of film geniuses inbedded into our collective language lately. also, i did not see this movie when it first came out because there was "too much hype". had it not been for the hype, this movie would have only been seen by a handful of similar film geeks (not gimp -- geek) and you might never had associated that word with that image. i was a girl scout when i was a kid. this means a lot of different things, one of the things that was necessary to do when you were affiliated with this organization when i was growing up was you were required to tie this sort of knot: http://www.angelfire.com/ca7/sierratses/images/lanyard.jpg with this sort of cord: http://www.boondoggleman.com/what_is_it.htm so i am going to suggest that the only name we consider to change "TheGIMP" to is "Boondoggle". children know what they can tell their grandparents better than their parents, i think. adults get plagued with "interesting media images" much more than children do, especially when both see the same image. to say that "TheGIMP" is an inappropriate name is to bring human beings all down to this level that is unnecessary. i am becoming confusing again. i am sorry. let me try to sum it up this way: what gives you the right to inflict your perversions on a group of developers like that? if you have a problem with the name, perhaps you should fix yourself. that was a well done movie, over hyped but well done and extremely funny. do you *know* anyone like any character in it? what i would like for you to do is to get some gimp, tie up a lanyard and think about all of this. what is it that you think of when you read the characters "TheGIMP"? leave bugzilla for software problems. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
