[geeklog-devel] Goodbye "SpamX" then?

[Tony Bibbs]

On a more serious note, I would explain that we are an open source group 
with no formal business organization and that our tool is not directly 
related to nor competes with their product.  I would point out Justin's 
email about prior work (though he's right...it holds no water) and then 
I would finish it up by noting that we would be willing to change the 
name but that we won't have nice things to say about him nor his company 
because of this (free speech is great).

And, no, I'm not above name calling.
