I suggest a new list dedicated to their traffic; gimp-name-haters@, thereby relieving the rest of the users and devo's from actually having to slog through their repeated attempts at reasoning. At least at the current levels, it's easy to know when a thread starts heading in that direction, and tell t'bird to bit bucket the messages. jim Or how about adding a section to the list-etiquette, referring them to one of the earlier threads? Anything to pre-empt the very tedious subject coming up yet again ;-) Doug ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It's good to see that this happens SO OFTEN that cutesy little paragraphs can be written about how a few people know so much better than the Noobs.

If by condescension and arrogance you mean no longer wanting to have to slog through the same repeated arguments made by people who feel that the name of an app seems to need more discussion than how the app works, well then yes. It's GPL'ed. If you don't like it, fork it and call it whatever you're little heart desires. You won't because it's been suggested before, and naught has happened (that's been announced anyway). Geez, go out and buy yourself a sense of humor for the holidays. btw, thanks for the new kill file entry jim ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I should also mention that this sort of thing comes up on the freebsd lists periodically. If you'd only change the mascot and drop the whole daemon thing, my church/tiny business would decide to use your operating system. Maybe something cute like a penguin or a kitty waving it's paw?
