I don't agree with you there. The information Federico asked for is
provided in the readmes accompanying the GIMPs source distribution and
on the websites. We put that stuff there, so that people are able to
locate it in the tarball and/or in search engines.
This mailinglist is not a forum to save everybody the most basic
research. If we are supposed to answer these questions, is it sufficient
to answer the questions once? Three times? Every time?
It would drastically reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of this list and
make it less useful, since I'd have to dig through a lot of trivial
questions to spot the interesting discussions.
Feel free to jump on mails that were impolite and/or rude, I know that
these sometimes happen. But this specific mail from mitch was not one of
them.
Bye,
Simon
