[OT] Re: New mod_perl Logo
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...
