Fwd: Note to "Have you MOOed today?"
Dear Jason Gunthorpe, dear APT team,
some time ago I found in apt-get the possibility to produce the comment:
"Have you MOOed today?"
Is there any connection to the joke religion "MOO" (see. f.ex. wikipedia.org)
or is this mere humor in the sense of f.ex. "we like cows"?
This question arises even more when looking at the E-Mail address of apt:
deity@lists.debian.org
To my opinion it can be bad for our world if joke religion gets lot of
influence in our world with the distribution of well known software.
In the Old Testament the Israelites always got difficulties in their live when
f.ex. dancing around the golden cow!
Yours sincerely
Jakob Johannes Blaette

Hello, Debain,
first of all thank you for the Distribution of DEBIAN that I appreciate.
I am Computer Scientist and have roman catholic believe so I'm also thankful
f.ex. that Debian offers a Web Browser called "Epiphany Browser".
But I could also find a program that can produce the comment "Did you already
MOO today...?".
Now I found that "MOO" can mean a text based online virtual system but as
well "MOOism" that is a joke religion (please see f.ex. wikipedia.org).
Or is the meaning only harmess in the meaning of cows?
To my opinion it can be bad for our world if joke religion gets lot of
influence in our world with the distribution of well known software.
Please tell me, if this comment in this program can be made less ambiguous.
Yours sincerely
Jakob Johannes Blaette
