No, you should pay more attention to the level of quotes: I was quoting godo, who was also quoting you. Unfortunately godo didn't put an attribution line (that would have made this more clear), but I'm not responsible for that. > And no, I never advocated GIMP as a viewer *or* and editor for the format.
