Fine, how's this? I did mean "Sorry, but GMail does not like posting at the
bottom..." in a whimsical manner, you know.

I was hoping, by that statement, that you or others would see flaws in what
I was told (if there were any) because I'd really rather like to not end up
with 10.04 again.

I will not quote this entire 'conversation' because I simply cannot be
bothered to rearrange 10 or so previous messages. Sorry if this is an
annoyance. :/
