I would suggest you to get off the computer for a while and go out to gallivant |
| 36 |
a bit with other human beings. I mean it seriously. |

On a side note, I am considering unsubscribing from this mailing list because |
| 39 |
the level of discussions taking place here is getting close to 0. You have |
| 40 |
managed to take over this mailing list, which by now should be renamed |
| 41 |
"gentoo-rants-and-complains". We are not reading about future projects of |
| 42 |
Gentoo on this ML these days but rather people's feelings: Bob said something |
| 43 |
to Alice and Alice started crying. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
This is what this ML is about now. |
