Wait what?! There is no war. This is about the opposite to what we all 
told you. GIMP is a fine example of people working together and 
collaborating very happily. :-)
And I am quite happy of that, because I would not be able to do alone 
even a small portion of what we are able to do all together.
And we are certainly not making any "groups" within GIMP.

Anyway this discussion is getting ridiculous and quite sick, speaking of 
war and guerilla out of nowhere. I am out.
