pjw Well, Romans are history (we always touch Londinium when we talk about levers, don’t we) ;) . Survivors of CCCP regime are still with us. Millions of Ukrainians are now suffering because the Soviet imperialism is still a dream of most of the Russians.
The more far away people are from the border (Italy, UK) the less people understand, care and show empathy to their neighbors.
I am afraid we are getting into emotional and traumatic minefields. Some strong statements here. I wish you have avoided making them. Before passions and emotions take the better of us, let’s draw a line.
pjw Londinium when we talk about levers, don’t we
The L is an inevitable part of the lever story. We can’t avoid, while at the same time people have strong personal views based on their own personal experiences - good or bad. Healthy discussions and challenging the merits and demerits are good, provided we respect the person as an individual.
pjw But still you won’t convince me that soviet spacecraft is the proper name for espresso machine in November 2022.
I can understand if folks have strong reservations! I am not too fuzzed about the name. As a sales director, I may have a different take.
If some body doesn’t like the name, they may request Paolo to remove the label. If that’s not possible, oh well, the prospect may have a difficult choice to make! :-)
Bottom line - it is a beautiful machine! 👏
