i learned in my Resident Advisor class that if you ask an american "why"
we get all jumpy and weird and sometimes very very what we like to call
"defensive".
I think this was cruel, thoughtless and wrong; and have been suffering
greatly from it the last 20+ years.
Why would anyone say that?

Guys and gals,
Would people please simply think a bit about the tone of their
emails before posting?
It seems that gimp-developer is increasingly perceived as a
hostile, rude, or elitist mailing list, and some small effort
