Re: Do choosy mother mothers choose GIF?

Not to reply with "RTFM" or anything on this list (of all places), but a

The site also provides support for pronouncing Linux "lee-nooks" as well, 
but the historical support is that tired old recording of Linus saying 
it, and how authoritative a source is that? ;-)
