Back in the day, we even gave out @gimp.org aliases as contest prizes, and monitoring that usage is impractical. I don't get where the expectation that postings from gimp.org addresses should be considered as anything but the individual expression of the author. Expecting a volunteer organization to have a rigid public face is ridiculous. One really should evaluate emails on the actual *content*, and not what the From address says. There are several active contributors who do not use gimp.org addresses, assuming their comments should have "less weight" is rather rude. Can we please stop cluttering the development mailing list with this now? -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
