It's a symptom of being alive: people like to start gossips about when |
| 17 |
and how you are going to die. The problem is that we don't believe in tales |
| 18 |
about witches and premonition, do we? ;) |

Some people call it yellow press (though in my country it would be translated |
| 21 |
to "pink press" :P. This gets kind of boring, because every two or three days |
| 22 |
a similar thread arises in the forum or here. Once a year I answer this kind |
| 23 |
of topic (I usually just silently ignore them). |

Right now, gentoo is stronger than ever. Monthly newsletter works again, and |
| 26 |
they are better than ever. The legal issues with the foundation (about papers |
| 27 |
and bureaucracy) are all now solved and portage is maintained and updated |
| 28 |
everyday. I figure how a person that use gentoo can question these things... |
| 29 |
So I figure if any of the persons who open this kind of threads are really using |
| 30 |
Gentoo for anything else than installing it to be cooler. |

No offense intended. As I said, this just gets boring after 1000 posts telling |
| 33 |
the same. It kind of seems like spam to me. |
