I know. But had you read the thread closer, earlier, you would have
seen my mention of "alternatives." Why are you so judgmental? Just
because my earlier response (and the fact that I manually maintain links
in /etc/alternatives) is supposedly "less helpful" than Matt's? Why do
you have to assert such?

Sorry, I meant "8" (why I wrote "1" I have no idea).

I was _not_ asking for a cookie. I was only asking that you don't pass
judgment on me. It's stuff like this that keeps me from wanting to
respond at all. Had Matt not made his post, then there would have been
*0* mentions of GCJ/alternatives (out of over a dozen!).
>From the way I see it, my earlier post was the _first_ to get to the
"core problem." Now I'm glad Matt made an even better post with an
actual command, and that's what we're all here for, to help each other.
But I think it's rather rude to do what you did considering I _was_ "on
the mark" more than several others.

Dude, I _was_ on-topic in _several_ of my posts. Quit asserting was is
on-topic and off-topic, as I can easily note several of your past posts
that are prime examples of _hypocrisy_.
