in reply to How to promote scripts on cpan?

This is getting fairly OT, but....

Just to provide an alternate viewpoint, I have to say that to my Americanized ears, Not Matt's Scripts doesn't sound pejorative or negative. It actually sounds like a spoof or a joke, in the sense of "We couldn't think of anything better" rather than "Avoid Matt".

Let me relate a couple of things that came to my mind when I heard it:

To me, it sounds more like: "Over here are Matt's scripts. And over there, those are, uh, Not Matt's scripts."

Maybe the fact that davorg, virtualsue, and I are from different sides of the pond has something to do with it ("separated by a common language"). If so, then given the worldwide reach of PM, I defer to their judgement. Better to err on the side of caution.
