My apologies for weighing so late, as I initially thought the post was 
an attempt at humor.  I always thought the current TRS80 crowd was 
comfortable with the "Trash80" moniker.  Perhaps not. I'm also a 
Commodore enthusiast, and the lot of us are extremely comfortable with 
being referred to as "Commies" (though, I can appreciate someone who 
lived during the McCarthy era might get triggered). My issues with 
"Commode Door" have nothing to do with the "smack talk" component, but 
rather the fact it doesn't flow well off the tongue.  Insults, real or 
in jest, land so much better if they flow.
