Raj, have your views changed over the last 3 years?  You were not,
IIRC, so FSF-ish.

I use the phrase "GNU/Linux" when I refer to Debian, but that is
because that is what the Authors named it.  I call Raj "Raj", because
that is what he refers to himself as.  There is no significance I
associate with a kingdom or a king when I call him Raj.  A name is a
label.  So Linux is Linux, or GNU/Linux, as a label.  There is little
point, in my view, in discussing its inner significance.

Therefore, while Raj may have misled me with the name "DLUG", or
"ILUG-D" when I joined, at the end, I am no longer a Linux User on the
desktop, and not in Delhi, or even in India.  Yet I hang around on the
mailing list, and consider myself a member.  Why?  Because I have
percieved common interests, that's why.  The members of Lions Club are
not large cats, are they?  As long as the group and I share common
interests, I will consider myself a member.
