Afraid to disagree with you, but actually I've spent more time writing and improving fvwm than you can imagine. Fvwm is by far more my baby than of the original author, Rob Nation, or anybody else; chances are that half of the code you use every day when you use fvwm has been written by me. So, please do not tell me whether I am able to maintain fvwm or not. (My apologies for this "showing off" to Mikhael, Olivier, Dan, Thomas and all the other people who have contributed to fvwm over the years - there's no intention to belittle your work.) > And remember, two bugs were fixed thanks to your work but principally > thanks to *I* reported them I do remember that and would prefer to keep any further discussions on a purely technical level: > Was INSTALL.fvwm bad explained too?

Actually, the fvwm mailing lists have certain unwritten rules that people who have been around here for a while know. One of these rules is to use electronic mail properly. This involves: * Honouring other people's mail headers (reply-to etc.), * not top posting replies, * stripping quoted portions of unnecessary context. Personally, I try to be polite, patient with writers who I find hard to understand, and to stay on topic. While I do not really care if people I hardly know get personal with me or other here whom I know well and with whom I have worked a lot in the past, discussions that focus on pointing fingers eventually do not help to improve fvwm and absorb time that could be spent elsewhere. There has only been very little moderation necessary on the fvwm lists, and the fvwm maintainers would like to keep it that way. This requires that new posters to the list stick to these rules, which are meant for keeping the necessary effort to maintain fvwm as low as possible. I hope you understand this (more or less) subtle hint about the possible consequences of future postings, and kindly ask you again to limit future postings to technical discussions or questions and refrain from getting personal.
