Who is Ray Carter anyway? 2. gnomefiles.org was a great service and we linked to it from both gnome.org and gtk.org in several places. A lot of people in the GNOME community was grateful for the site and miss it. 3. Not all my favorite bugs gets fixed either. Sorry that software development works like that. 1.

She doesn\\\'t have to explain, but heh, you don\\\'t abandon a site because of a bug, even nasty, you can\\\'t expect people to understand... Looking at alexa.com, the site was quite successfull, no loss of audience at least. And please don\\\'t call me ungratefull or worse, i\\\'m just an external observer, i don\\\'t use gnome anyway.

I also thank them for their previous so useful, hard and demanding work on behalf of the Gnome community, which I should have done first. Trolls are everywhere. Please consider that the vast majority of your former users were NOT this kind of people, like for any other community. This is just plain common sense. This said, there is a French age-old saying which runs this way: "Who wants to kill its dog, says it suffers from rabies" "Qui veut tuer son chien l'accuse de la rage" I think I need to restate my position

Only the emphasis on gnome? Cheers, Tom PS. Remember: Trolls and haters are always the loudest. Hey Thom,

I don't think every gnomefiles visitor constantly follows Eugenia's blogging.
