@schneidenbach: What do you mean by “Bringin’ back the GAC”? #73

Question

Hi Spencer,

you started the campaign with slogan "Bringin’ back the GAC". I am sorry, I didn't get it. Is it something that just popped in your mind? Is it something funny? Or is it supposed to be serious? Does it originate from you, or is it something older and I am missing history context? Or is it play with words, where GAC stands for something else than Global Assembly Cache?

Background / More Information

Just curious. Also want to test first question and hopefully encourage other members to ask.

Ha! I was actually reflecting on this about an hour ago. A couple of days ago, I was trying to come up with something humorous to catch people's attention, but was thinking tonight that it might just confuse people. A terrible attempt at humor if I'm being honest with myself 😂

I was going to issue a PR to remove it, but I've been working all evening, so it fell to the bottom of the list :) since I'm answering this question anyways I'm going to go ahead and issue the PR now.

FWIW, I'm glad I left it up because at least it was noticed!

Yes, that is good point. It got my attention 😊
