The trademark bit was a joke, of course.

And I think he just pulled that out of ... thin air.

It doesn't seem right to attribute it to LWQ if it's not in LWQ.
I use the lwq.w3.to URL because it's short. Do people find the pop-up
ad annoying? If so, I could set up http://lwq.sill.org to redirect to
http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq. In fact, I think I'll do that
anyway[1]. Unfortunately, sill.org sits on a 28.8K dialup, so I can't
serve LWQ (in volume) directly. Maybe someday I'll get decent
connectivity.[2]
