An apology (Warning: may contain vegetables)

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not accommodating, which is why we take complaints very seriously. It has recently come to our attention that there are a number of our supporters who, like Vickie Larrieux, cannot bear the sight of vegetables. The term often used to describe such an irrational fear is "lachanophobia." We would like to apologize to any whose feelings were hurt by our failure to take into account the lachanophobic community among our supporters.

At the same time, however, the GNU Public Dictatorship stands for equality, and so we cannot and will not leave our vegetable friends hanging, so to speak. We have consulted with the Global Lachanophobia Awareness Detail (GLAD) and have determined that any future posts that refer to vegetables (including this one) will include a notice in the subject that will state that fact unambiguously. Labels such as these have been used successfully in the food industry and have made the experience of the food-allergic customer much better.

If there are any other groups of people out there that we may have offended, we invite you to make your voices known so that we can accommodate you as well!
