As I have just pointed out in another thread I think it would be helpful to avoid sort of noise if contributers were not so touchy and frequently get rather irrate for no reason. Sure everyone puts their time in for free, including those who take the time to report bugs and make suggestions. Sometimes reports may communicate an aire of frustration. Though I really dont think that was the intention here. Often if a bug or interface defect is minor no-one bothers reporting. Only when it becomes a major pain and time waster may it get reported. But dont expect to be molly coddled either. If someone takes the time to report it's because they think Gimp is a good tool, that is worth having and wish to contribute to it being better. That in itself is a complement to the work that has already been done. Please dont expect a preamble of "thank you everso much for your free work on this great project , you are really clever by the way, but I have one little issue I'd like to bring up if I may". It would greatly accelerate development and reduce noise if we could be a bit more down to Earth and in some cases a bit more humble. We all know emails and posts are a clumbsy for of communication, so let's all try to take things with a pinch of salt and concentrate on improving Gimp. Now I have a lanczos filter to debug, so good day to all.
