[Evolution] Please remove me from the list



Please can somebody remove me from the list?  I don't know if I'm in the
Evo-List, OO-List or Glue-List, but I NEVER ASKED TO JOIN ANY OF THESE
LISTS!

Please check the list if you are the moderator.  It only takes a moment.
Thanks!

Subject: GROUPWARE - Answered: Why "OOGS" ?



== The Word Is Heard  (or: "Gentlemen: I give you - OOGS!")

<nitpick>What is the second O for?</nitpick>

'Open Office Groupware Standard' as in an 'Office Groupware Standard'
(OGS) that is open? But that's just my guess.




It's a recursive acronym in the same way that GNU and TINT are recursive
acronyms.

Like, GNU stands for Gnu's Not Unix.

similarly:  OOGS:

   OOGS is
   Open
   Groupware
   Standards

... OOGS.

Thus the "extra" O  :-)

Also, "Groupware" is one word AFAIK so no W in my version.  Plus, "OOGS"
is pronounceable, vs. OGWS.  OGS is pronounceable, but it doesn't have
the cool FSF-ish recursive anagram  :-)
