You seem hell bent on picking a fight with me. But I'm not biting.
You are obviously far to sophisticated and knowledgeable for me. Or
at least you clearly think so.
And yet it slipped right over your head that I'm clearly juggling
things around that are bothersome to compile so that I can continue to
run Gentoo, like I've been doing long before I ever saw your name on
this list.
That huge intellect has told you to read that as a complaint.. and who
am I to argue.
So I'll just leave it that its not really up to you what I do or don't
like to compile or what OS I run.
PS- This is just a thought, but have you considered restricting your
responses to the subject at hand instead of finding something in a
query to suit your need to showoff that towering intellect?
