The point you need to pay attention to is that you're being
deliberately nasty over an honest mistake, trolling the maker into
intentionally perpetuating that mistake.[1]

Been there, done that, regret it heartily.  Years too late. :-(

All you really needed to do was say, "I'm sorry if I've changed the
subject, but this is g-a-u, and I wish to explain GNU Arch's plans."[2]


Footnotes: 
[1]  Which isn't so honest, and of course the original mistake was
rooted in strong "political" bias.  But neither of those has anything
to do with Daniel's point.

[2]  As Richard Stallman does so well.  Worth taking a leaf from the
Master's book, here, IMO.
