Re: [Gimp-user] [rebellion attempt] Fight back!

[Ross Martinek <ross triarius net>]

I’m a GIMP user. I haven’t written code since the days of WATFOR.

So whatfor all this kerfluffll? I don’t care if it’s a mailing list (I can deal with ancient technology. I’m 
a retired geologist. Banging two rocks together is old school, but we still do it.) Mailing lists are fine. 
So are more modern things … like color monitors. I really don’t give a rodent’s derriere. If I need help, I 
want help. If someone else needs help I can give, I give it. In neither case do I care what format it takes, 
as long as I can read it and they can read it.

The fact is that people resist change. They don’t want to get out of their comfortable rut. I understand and 
sympathize. However, change is inevitable, and this is not change for its own sake. If the folks writing 
GIMP’s code are fine with it, that’s all I need to know. Change and adaptation are life. Anything else is 
death.

Change happens.

Adapt. Overcome. Or die. Having nearly done the latter three times, not counting near misses, I choose the 
two former. This debate is … absurd. Let’s get back to creating, whether it’s code or some other art form.
