Unfortunately, that doesn't make it less confusing; in fact, it may make it more confusing, because using an unmodified name implies an officialdom of sorts. Consider, for instance, what Cygnus Support did for their name. This seems to be a much better model. Providing a clarification was appropriate, given that the original poster was not someone familiar with you. The comparison with the "cartoon tiger" is a bit ridiculous, given that this isn't a forum for said cartoon tiger, but it is a GNU forum for a GNU editor, where GNU bugs are discussed. -- Arsen Arsenović
