David had Gimpshop in one thread, big deal. People get so sensitive about one guy discussing one topic which is confusing. If the topic doesn't get replies, then it dies. Now a wiki exists to explain to people like David why the people who run Gimp feel the way they do. All done. Now you can get back to discussing whatever you were discussing. If one topic on a mailing list ruins your day, perhaps you should look into lightening up. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
