Hi Gabor,

thanks for the constructive feedback.

Hi Michal,

- I might be an enthusiast but i am definitively not offended. :D

- I am wondering for whom dictator has a positive weight... no matter
who calls them dictator! ;)

- Which negative connotation do you have with "principal" or
"integrator" or "approved"? :)

- Does a documentation sounds sexier if its "rebellion" than "_not_
vague politically correct"?

- I did not "understand" "dictator" "lieutenant" nor "blessed".

- I think that words form the world we live in, deliberate choice of
"bad" connotation and exclusive expressions form an adequate world.

Thanks for the insight. :)

Cheers, Senol
