Well, I do use garnome and have given some feedback but I wasn't nearly
as negative as you were - or did you think that was _positive_
feedback? From your comments I somehow got the idea you thought it was
an ugly hack. I also got the idea that you figured you could do a
better job, so I ask again where are your patches? As for reading
gar.mk, no, not in it's entirety. So what? My point was and still is
that you did not need to be so negative or rude. Why don't *you* show
the developers some love? C'mon dude, I know you can do it. :-)

If I've come on a little too strong tonight it's only because I've seen
three posts on as many different mailing lists that came across like
some smart-ass who figured that the work done on some very worthwhile
projects was all wrong and only they knew how it should be done. Oh and
not one of the three posters bothered to attach any patches. I'll be
the first one to admit that I am _not_ a programmer so the best I'll
ever be able to to is test and give 99.999% guaranteed friendly, usable
feedback.

Anyway, this is a waste of peoples bandwidth here on the list so if you
wish to carry this on Mark I suggest we take this off-list.

Regards, Myles
