i had no idea what i was getting into when i started to spend some of my enthusiasm for great software and great ideas. i tried in another email to express my warnings in a different language. there are so many reasons that the software does not compare. gimp relies on people doing the right thing. the mozilla group has the option to do the right thing or not. when i tried to make a plug-in developing environment like this, the gimp-developers themselves broke it and the attempt. perhaps it was so that i could see how it all works. it is impossible to be diplomatic and share the experience maybe. there is so much about my experiences that i do not want to share with enthusiastic users nor have them endure. so i attempt to help with an email that says "please research before continuing". gimp relies on people doing the right thing. if people dont do the right thing, it is difficult to find who to blame. firefox has a method for doing the right thing. when they dont do the right thing, everyone knows what to blame. from my point of view, i think maybe *zilla should not be centralized like that and see if they can survive like gimp. in michigan, we had two newspapers. The Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. The Detroit Free Press was dying. instead of allowing it to die therefore allowing a perfectly good and upcoming newspaper to fill its place, the two major papers joined. it was a spit in the eye of capitalism and of evolution. and they did it in the name of these ideals. well, calling gimp and firefox the same thing would be like calling these two newspapers different newspapers. now, hopefully the original poster on this thread will not loose all their stuff and friends. no diplomacy here. it is too late for this. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
