gups,

Yours is a most disrespectful post, full of your prejudice. LWN is an Internet publication with a worldwide readership.

or anyone by the name of Mohammed Kateeb

What exactly are you insinuating?

Suppose this article was about something Bill Gates said, and I wrote "or anyone by the name of Bill Gates", will you still react the same way? Tell me what difference it makes.

Yes, what I wrote was meant to be disrespectful, but what makes you think I'm prejudiced? or insinuating anything?

Just because some person has the name "Bill Gates" doesn't mean we shouldn't listen to them. Rather, we should be distrustful of anything that Microsoft's management says. A person's name has nothing to do with that.
