Regarding http://slug.archives.nks.net/List/slug.archive.0707/0080.html

Wish I had a penny for every moment of confusion, lost trust, and lost convert caused by a choice of words in 1983.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS

I would count the pennies starting at one, like my bank does.

If I lived long enough to count them all, I would ask another penny for the terms "X Desktop" and "Open-Source Software".

In an age of Internet Porn and Identity Theft, is there no Public Relations savvy to be found?
