Maybe it worth gathering such a common questions in a FAQ and place the
link to it at the main page of the gimp.org? Unless these common
questions aren't answered at the usual place, they would be asked again
and again.

Hi, general comments:
The tone of the GIMP mailing list has improved dramatically over the
years (long time lurker here) and I would assert that it is generally
very reasonable.
However, language barriers can cause problems and special care should
be taken when this is obviously the case. Also,

Hi Simon!
Let me just say that I found your response (and your response to my other
email) well-thought and constructive, and generally agreeable. However, now I
have some higher priorities (not GIMP related unfortunately) so I will

Nothing forbids that. The
There is a practice within OO bugzilla management (at least with some QA
persons) to 1. thank the bug reporter for his work - whether it is
useless from a developer's POV or not. 2. if it is a well-known bug or
