http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy According to Jewish and Christian belief, God is the creator of the universe, and is all knowing of all things in the universe. Wietse created Postfix, and is all knowing of all things within Postfix. Via analogy, Wietse is the God of Postfix. I'm quite surprised this required explanation. Maybe this frequent analogy is exclusively an American cultural thing. Michael Jordan has been called the "God of basketball", Donald Trump the "God of New York real estate" (in the 80s anyway). It's frequently used to describe someone who is the top master of a craft, subject, sporting or business endeavor, etc. I believe Genghis Khan has been called the "God of war", though I don't know if that was coined by an American or not. -- Stan
