Not once. We've been there; however, that's not the issue at hand, it takes a non-lousy ebuild writer to see that monopoly surrounds the core of it. Why is that? Because it only starts to matter when it starts to matter. > You had a fix and it was refused? Have you ever considered you may > have been doing it wrong?

Hmm, we're not sure whether we're all Rich though; if I were, I would wonder if you have considered that hindrance works in both directions? We are rock stars; if rock star X hinders rock star Y, Y can hinder X. The effect of telling them to not take it personally, is that they will.
