_I_ am not ruled by that group and you're possibly neither. What might |

I don't want to say your points aren't valid. But they are not very |

substantiated (don't expect me to read back the last few months of |
| 35 |
gentoo-dev, bring examples!) and not focused on my context as a |
| 36 |
_user_... |
