Michael,
There is a difference between a mistake and a lie. I read to quickly and presumed that "gmc" was the login utility for GNOME--gdm. People will sometimes make little mistakes, it's rediculous to suggest that such things make them liers or untrustable.. After all, the entire thread here was my correction of the mistake made by an author of an article comparing the performance of "ICEwm" versus "KDE". I certainly don't claim has comparison was useless, just a little misleading. And I certainly am not claiming that anything he says are lies and untrustable! Do you think you might be just a little extreme, here? --Matthew On Fri, 25 Jan 2002, Michael H.
