Why would they listen to me If I have no relation to or influence inthe
GNOME project? If they say something you don't like, how hard is it to
say it was just some loose cannon that sent it? If they say something
you do like, then where is the harm?

I know you are an easily excitable guy, based on how you reacted over
other things, including the "that and a pair of testicles" gong show. I
also know that a community is represented by its individuals, whether
the community likes it or not. Therefore, I'm giving you, personally,
the decision about what I will do. Write me back, and I will unsubscribe
from all GNOME mailing lists, and you will never hear again from this
"troll" again.
