Hi Simon! Let me just say that I found your response (and your response to my other email) well-thought and constructive, and generally agreeable. However, now I have some higher priorities (not GIMP related unfortunately) so I will reply[1] to this email later when I have some spare cycles. But thanks for a great response. Regards, Shlomi Fish [1] "Will reply" is subject to the Rule of Open-Source Programming[2] No. 11, which says that when a developer says he will work on something, then he or she means "maybe".
