Right. There was no "browbeating." rms was going to be giving a talk at the U, so I asked if he would do a talk for TCLUG. He said that he would only talk for a GNU/Linux group and not for a Linux group. I was the one who then suggested that we change our name to "Twin Cities GNU/Linux Users Group." Some people liked that idea, some didn't, and we didn't change the name. I still took rms out to dinner with several TCLUG members while he was in town. I really enjoyed meeting him. Mike
