That's unreasonable. Let's put it that way. You didn't convince anybody before that, as clear from the e-mail. That e-mail is the first one to mention that CUPS people don't like LGPL libraries. > > Let me tell you something, I am here to gain.

Yes. I came here because it is the right place.

Suspecting I found a well of money and I am leaving you for that, huh? Well that didn't happen yet, but thanks for not getting involved. Your message has a point, though. I will suspend my suspension of Arabeyes, for a couple of days. I will delay my decision till next Monday, so as to be able to think about it and probably get on irc on the weekend. I will try to make my point clear by that time. If issues are solved, fine and good, else I will have made my point. Now let me go to the nice Sharma and a cup of tea:) Salam, Muhammad Alkarouri ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
