another thing, the history of gimp is very cool. what i would rather research is to find out if the Merge Visible plug-in was written for the tutorial i love so much on classic.gimp.org and not to prove one of the lead developers wrong. on that other list, i really did know what the other perl plug-in writers were doing more than the developer who wrote the initial interface. he is a purist and wrote plug-ins that somehow did not show the camel on the face of the dialog like some of the others. users should not allow developers to rewrite history according to their wishes. and it is just as wrong to expect that the developers know everything that the volunteers are doing. the fact that Sven did not use perl or have a clue about the plug-ins is not a bad fact. just a fact. the fact that marc lehmann did not try other developers perl plug-ins is another one of those not good not bad facts. > I am not asking you to leave the list or anything, but this is a > situation I do dislike.
