But I do not support a name change.
Neither do I. Graphics Image Modification Program, aka gimp, is just fine. At 86, theres a bit of a hitch in my gitalong too, in fact I'm up in the middle of the night working some Theraworx into a leg cramp. I'm also a 30 year DM-II, so I'm obviously thin skinned and covered in bruises because I am still active, but not thin enough the name bothers me. To anyone who is bothered, grow some skin. > And may I point out that Michael's signature line, "Michael Richards, > BSc (he/his)" may offend some people (but not me)?
