This is a general problem with almost all the existing entries, and
will have to await a future editing pass for solution. For now I think
it's more important to have consistent cues that users can recognize,
even if they're not literally appropriate.

It is the assumption of this book that a work of art is a gift, not a commodity. Or, to state the modern case with more precision, that works of art exist simultaneously in two "economies," a market economy and a gift economy. Only one of these is essential, however: a work of art can survive without the market, but where there is no gift there is no art. -- Lewis Hyde, The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
