Since the political correctness question has been raised on www-talk,
I was tempted to respond, but tired enough to think better of it 'til
I've thought it over.  What does anybody think of this as a response:

         
When we named the Apache server, we were aware this issue might arise.
We mean no offense, of course, and if any authorized representative of
the Apache Nation asks us to change the name, we certainly will.

At the same time, we hope we are treated no more harshly than the
other people who are also using the name...

  [whois list]




Feel free to shoot this response down in flames... I'm kinda tuckered
out, and I wouldn't be suprized at all if there's something wrong with
it.
