Michał, Walter is a long-term high-quality Gentoo-user and does not |
| 42 |
deserve to be told what you just said above. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Please get your act together and stop treating other people as worthless |
| 45 |
nuisances. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
You are annoyed by someone or something, that much has been obvious for |
| 48 |
a long time now. I can assure you, Walter is not the correct target for |
| 49 |
your annoyance. Please deal with the correct source. |
