Thousands? In all the time I've followed this list I've seen maybe a dozen threads. I believe all of them have your replies in there. Trying to count the number of complainants, I estimate probably one or two dozen as well. Stop imagining your personal opinion to be somehow representative of the majority, its really quite annoying. Besides, open source development is not a democracy, so the majority-ness of any opinion is practically useless. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
