The GIMP developers have said in no uncertain terms that GIMP wouldn't be
where it was today without IRC discussions.  Mailing lists aren't THAT
quick, ya know.

Anyway, people shouldn't have to subscribe to gnome-gui to provide feedback
to the project.  I mean, the VAST MAJORITY(I hope) of users of GNOME
*aren't* part of this group.  It's in the IRC conferences that we get to
show off our present state to our testing public and find out if we're ALL
way off base.

Geocentric?  Try listcentric :-)
