Oscar Figueiredo <Oscar.Figueiredo(a)di.epfl.ch&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: Please do not use `M$' or `Micro$oft' as a synonym for MicroSoft, Inc. The symbol `$' is holy[1] (though desecrated by socialistic American governments throughout the past century). Currency represents the value of efforts of a free man in a form that can be easily transferred to another free man. There is *nothing evil* about that!! Heh, great combo. Richard Stallman is Mr. Socialist, and I'm Mr. Anarcho Capitalist. Sigh. Variety is the spice of life, they say. No offense intended towards you Oscar. Footnotes: [1] People writing Micro$oft burn my ass *far* more than almost anything else. Don't do it. American currency in specific and money in general is not inherently evil and its symbol should not be taken in vain.
