I (and most other people) have better ways to spend my time than logging onto a multitude of different Web sites just to tell people how worthless their apps are. Gpe is just one of many apps that I've tried. I'll just stick with what works, and dump what doesn't. You're missing the most important point: if the *process* of submitting bugs weren't such a PITA, more people would do it. I went through a great deal of effort and spent a good deal of time going out of my way to install AbiWord on my desktop because one developer on this list (with an attitude just like yours) demanded that I submit a bug. After I went to all that trouble, AbiWord is still completely unusable for me, and yet they had the nerve to announce the bug "solved" and are doing exactly nothing about it. After an experience like that, no, I'm not going to bother again. Not with AbiWord, and not with you. You know there's a problem. You can choose to deal with it, or you can cop an attitude and demand that other people deal with it for you. One of those choices is a lot more effective than the other. You figure out which. My mother has a phrase for your attitude: "you're cutting off your nose to spite your face." The fundamental error in your logic is that you think your time (and effort) is more valuable than mine. It isn't. If you don't have time to test your own product with different scenarios, then why do you think I have time to report dozens of different bugs to different developers? You're worse than Micro$oft... Mark _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
