All what you explain here is intrinsic in what I said, and it was clear
from my first post.  Are you explaining it to yourself?  Don't you have
time to read?, don't answer, don't you have time to maintain FVWM?,
don't do it, nobody will blame you.

The only off topic comment I did here was about the personal mail I've
sent you, and *you* forced me to talk here about it.  So I kindly ask
you to stop blaming others when its all your fault.  Again read what
others post and think about what you write to not contradict yourself
all the time.  Nobody should hear in this lists about how you organize
your time, your work, your personal email.  That's off topic.

And remember, two bugs were fixed thanks to your work but principally
thanks to *I* reported them and I was very patient with your "lack of
time to read more than one line per paragraph".  Was INSTALL.fvwm bad
explained too?
