That's a conclusion first, then a premise? |

What are you referring to? forums.g.o? bugs.g.o? #gentoo? Who, where, |
| 22 |
when, what channel, thread? |

Being probably guilty of all of the above, I'd say it would help if the |
| 34 |
Gentoo users would file GOOD bug reports, and would know when to use |
| 35 |
forums.g.o instead, but since I don't know what you are really |
| 36 |
referring to, I decline to answer that one. :) |
