"this" being promoting the gnu/linux version of TheGIMP. i would rather be sharing linux resources and not be in need of explanations about why promoting and advocating choices for human beings has reduced this human into a choiceless and sorry excuse for the human who started this (simply out of love for her species). mail them to me and thanks, carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
