Yes, who is more foolish; he who asks the question, or he who cannot
answer it?
Presumably (and we cannot know, because he won't say) Matt has some kind
of problem with a description of a product being used in lieu of its
name in a subject line. Why that is, is anyone's guess.
Perhaps he's a MULTICS fan, and is annoyed that the name isn't prominent
enough, because he wants to promote it. Perhaps he just doesn't like Roy
for some reason, and decided to troll him.
Whatever his motive, he must surely have one, but we'll never know what
that motive is unless he actually tells us.
