Neil, I hope you take this in the kindest way possible.
FOFF. I already told you to go back to your Windows and Pay for support elsewhere. Go ahead and pay to have forced anal sex. Gwon, all you care to do is nastily complain and presuppose we actually care about you driveling snot nosed asinine attitude complaining. You say you want it to work, but then you also claim "Gentoo blah blah" or "Ubuntu blah blah" "this logo here..." etc. All designed to be abrasive. Don't think you'll get any help from me, until you change your confrontational attitude. The only thing you'll garner with your methods is this kind of e-mail. So, until you can really ask a non-insulting or condescending set of questions, all you will get from me is this kind of e-mail. And, please notice this is now on record that you try to take things off-list... and continue to be a wanker still.
