Please re-read what I wrote (and also what he wrote) next time.  He
called it "Linux 7" in the subject line which is EXACTLY what I have

Why would someone bother writing an email correcting someone (which,
incidentally, the original author has acknowledged) if there was no
reason for this?  Think before you send.
