your response may have been appropriate to the gnome-usability list, but i think its slightly off-topic here. so lets refrain from project bashing, no matter if its instigated. it doesnt add anything to this list and it doesnt get anything done. lets show a little professionalism. -- Celeste Lyn Paul www.obso1337.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]
