Story time 🙂
Back in the 2000s, I ran a mailing list called fw1-wizards.
There was (more generic) mailing list called firewall-wizards...and the two were often confused for one other.
After a polite email from the owners of firewall-wizards (they had it trademarked, as I recall), I renamed my list fw1-gurus.
The picture on the cover of Essential Check Point FireWall-1 (the original that came out in 2000) was a wizard...and the "NG" book (came out in 2002) had a guru on it.
