I know because of I have an ounce of empathy and I *know* these people
already. I know you really really want me to have invented them but I did
not.

Maybe the same people could be offended by other words as well, how do we

Yeah maybe they could be offended by other names. Maybe they won't. It's up
to the author to figure out if they want to deal with it. What I'm giving
here is a very real warning. If the author is fine offending people, that's
up to them, and they'll deal with it. I won't be the one defending them.

Loic can correct me if he's wrong, but his *Cowboy* web server took its
initial name because *cowboys kill apaches* if I recall old conference
conversations. I think it's of poor taste, but so far Loic has not had any
fall out or enough offended people to make any change, and he did build a
successful business out of it. He made the call and ran with it.
