Karl, it's you who should file a (rational) bug or "shut UP" (as you
put it).  Mark pointed out that a bug report is more useful than a
meandering whine to the user list.  Nothing wrong with that.  Charlie
(sarcastically) implied that you often use the mailing list as your
own personal blog - which is true - and that you will probably
continue to do so - which unfortunately also seems to be true.
Nothing wrong with that, either.

Years ago, you were advised not to blog to the Fedora list and that
advice went unheeded.  After switching to Ubuntu you have continued to
fill us all in on your daily activities with no sign of slowing down
soon.  In my book, that makes you a fair target - either grow thicker
skin or go and get yourself a blog:

Lighten up man, in any case - it's just the users' list ;)
