Seriously you wonder why people work against GNOME and the community instead 
with it ? Your attitute is not very nice and for sure not shared by many 
people. I bet that at least 70% of the people on this mailinglist (if not 
more) rather agree to my writing than yours.

If you don't agree what I was trying to explain then it's your freedom to 
bring up a reasonable statement to prove me wrong or ingoring what I wrote. 
You may not belive this but I got quite "A LOT" private emails the last days 
from people exactly from this list or the places you mentioned who told me to 
be right with what I wrote. It's simply my opinion and If you don't share it, 
then it's your problem not mine. You shouldn't point the finger at someone 
and call him to be dirty while you are throwing with dirt yourself (ok some 
people on this list may not understand this sentence but I think you got it 
already).

Yes GNOME is perfect and going in the right direction. If you leave all the 
bad press and the complaining users out then you are right. I would seriously 
wish that some of you people (in this case you) stop being so ignorant and 
start listening to the users instead glueing them TROLL stickers on the head.

Well I stop here since it wasn't my intention to sound like a jerk but I liked 
to answer you the same public way you answered me.

Think about it.
