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:

• In the late '70s/early '80s, the DEC VAX was the most popular machine that ran UNIX, and the host names were things like ucbvax, decvax, iuvax, and many others. At the place I worked, when the first Motorola-based machine we were manufacturing booted up, it was christened notavax. Everyone there expressed that it was a witty and clever name.
• For those of you who remember the TV show "Dinosaurs", the baby referred to its parents as "Mama" and "Not the mama". I (and my kids) thought it was funny.

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.
