I think if you read Matz' post carefully, you will see that he
is not the originator of POLS. So, I don't think he wants any
POLS attached to himself, even POMLS. This would be a repeat of
what happed with POLS. 

Besides, if we drop the POLS thing, then we can spare the poor
misguided, uninformed (slack jawed, lazy eyed) individuals who
write long articles trying to sound intelligent and authoritate
on a subject that they know nothing about from making fools of
themselves.
