All right -- I know I should just silently delete this, and let it go, but it's like a bad traffic accident, I just have to sneak a look. In exactly what way do you connote American-style out of any of those names? The fact that Big Foot is a mythical being often associated with the US northwest? (I think the Canadians talk about Big Foot too...) And racist?? Come on, that's certainly a reach... When in doubt, accuse others of being provincial, and act damn indignant. Curse their nationality too... Steve Reppucci On Wed, 30 Jan 2002, Ron Savage wrote: Jeezus you guys. All these American-style names are verging on the racist.

Fw: [OT] Re: New mod_perl Logo
I'm going to have a spew here. I am sick of all the Anti-US bashing. You sent hundreds of thousands of your boys to help save Europe, Australia, Russia, Asia from slavery. We will never forget that. When any country is in trouble it dials 1. If in return we get to drink Starbucks and eat Burger King vegi-burgers or McDonalds Salads so be it, it's a fair trade. End of rant. Back to geek stuff.
