Note of appreciation

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <andrew pitonyak org>]

As much as I abhor certain aspects  of Gnome 3, and as much as it is 
killing my ability to accomplish certain tasks in the way in which I 
became accustomed over the years, I applaud many on the team in holding 
their tongue in the face of significant abuse. On other projects, I have 
seen users go rabid over changes that seemed to be small (like change in 
icon color). They claimed over-whelming support for their point of view 
based on what seemed to be small numbers to me. Everyone has a "pet 
complaint", it is a mistake to assume that all others agree with what 
annoys you.

I was very intentional when I joined the list and posted my questions to 
not be confrontational. I have watched many on the team meet 
confrontation head on with polite dignity. Consider the following response:

Jasper,

If you ever make it to Columbus, Ohio in the USA, dinner and drinks are
