I very much agree, however I frown on the term LAMP. For one, it is
amorphous in defining what language is in use

Nope, says PHP right there in the e-mail when defining the term LAMP. I have
seen this term in lots of places, in many articles, books, and web sites.
YMMV.

while being too particular about what OS is in use. "AMP" opens the door to
various
OSs (*BSD, commercial, Windows).

Agreed, I believe that I pointed that out;

Completely agreed.. but lets just drop the 'L' :) and not forget
FreeBSD/OpenBSD is an excellent platform as well.

No doubt that *BSD is an excellent platform, but MHO still sides with LAMP.
However, we are just picking at nits, if you know what I mean. :)
