This is because you are not looking at the mailing list, but at the
gimpusers pseudo-forum, which is an incomplete mirror of the proper
list. Look at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/, or
better, subscribe to this list.

My actual message is here:

I told you above how to do.

But it's probably 2.6.12, and thus you have only a very primitive
version of the paint dynamics.

Not sure it will help.
