Me thinks that another explanation is closer to the truth.

Seems that a webmaster at sf.net got confused, what with one bloke authoring *two* different programming languages (even the great and all-powerful Larry Wall constrains his munificence to only one language), and decided that Pure was in fact a prank, or worse...

So he attempted to merge the repositories for Pure and Q...(cover your ears)

!!!CRAAAAACK!!! as a thousand motherboards fractured from the heat of fusion

and as night became day... the baleful language "PuQe" heaved into existence.

then all the sf.net servers followed PuQe's example, and um... er... "puked"!

Which is why sf.net went down. Seriously.

Fortunately, the Great Wizards of Gnu quickly restored order to the universe.

A happy ending!

Yes, I'm a prat. ;-)
