I don't believe that you have properly conveyed and/or understood the substance of the statement, taken somewhat out of context, you debate. I believe that it was intended to convey that you do not complain about a *gift* but offer positive suggestions about directions you believe would benefit the intended audience which is *not* ps users and gimp is not being developed to replace ps or take it's users, but an excellent and capable graphics editing program to use, if you wish. And this *aim*, iiuc, has been spoken here on this list many times. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
