Accusations, accusations, always accusations

    The biggest problem I have with this is that the thought of this name
    change didn't occur to you until six years after "Linux" was released.

That computation yields 1997, but I have been talking about GNU/Linux
for longer than that.  Probably since 1995, or maybe before.

    It's far too late...

It isn't too late for some people to change.  Even since a year ago, a
number of people have started using the term "GNU/Linux", and I am
confident that more will do so in the future.  It is never too late
for any person to start doing this--it is just a matter of whether
you believe it is the proper thing to do.
