IOW, it was a true positive for "([Uu]ser experience)|UX" as BS predictor. Nice to know... Look, you'd been asked to give good reasons for doing some thing; replying with "it's My Opinion(tm), piss off if that's not enough reason for you" would at least have been honest. References to UX, as your last reply has confirmed, had been basically an obfuscated equivalent of that. Sorry for being harsh, but I've had it with the GNOME crowd and their ilk using just such references to handwave away any questions. There's nothing wrong with having opinions/impressions/etc. Everyone got their own, etc. But "I believe so, period" is not a sufficient answer to "what makes that a good idea?" and obfuscating it up is even worse. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
