Yes, flatfish bull****ting again.

A lot of stuff depends on imlib though. Since major things like gtk
aren't broken it sounds like maybe this "wallp" is ahead of the curve
rather than behind it 8->

Yes, and Hadron "me too"ing. Complains that I do nothing for
Linux, complains about a bug in FireFox yet fails to submit a
bugzilla report (which I did), calls me a hypocrite. Calls
Linonut "Liarmutt". He needs to look inwardly at his own hypocrisy.

I don't have the time to keep track of the bugs, register for bug reporting
sites and then get a curt pompous email yelling at me for reporting an
already reported bug that maybe I couldn't find because my search argument
didn't generate a good hit count.

I leave that to the dedicated masses.

I am in contact with some developers of various Linux programs and I let
them know when I discover problems.
And they appreciate it.

Quack makes stupid statements about what Linux advocates do or don't do.
As you say, the troll whines that we don't do anything for Linux, yet he
really doesn't know *what* we do. As I said in another thread, I've
probably reported more bugs in distro beta versions than he's had hot
breakfasts.

The dork can't even get his own installation set up properly, let alone
join a LUG & actually install distros on other *peoples* machines. (Which
I've been doing for a long time)

> Calls Linonut "Liarmutt". He needs to look inwardly at his own hypocrisy.

Indeed he does, but Quack is too arrogant & conceited to do that.

As someone in another group remarked about Hardon Quack, "his notoriety
has preceded him".
