A name that is repeated gets remembered. All credits go to that name while other names fade. Politicians know that perception matter. I am just educating users on how warped their perceptions could be when they thank just a single person for what is essentially the work of many hands. Users of Free Software should be appreciative of and show respect to all hands that did the grunt work. Jambunathan K.
