Why do you post a 13 line sig when the accepted std is 4? Gmail does deliver to one if one chooses to set it up that way!

After it passes through google? Why would anyone do that. Do you have fedex take your mail to google as well? Is it so hard to have your mal sent to your house instead of to google?

Because they choose to. It is about choice.

It's not a rational choice to let some stranger get your mail. This is the kind of choice people make when they either don't understand how things work, or they are just too young and stupid to care.

Is it so hard to compile some source code?

I have no problem but do not understand your point.

Yeah - I understand that. But saying it twice or explaining it in more detail will not help you and it becomes a waste of time.

I see no reason to compile what someone else has taken the time to provide. I am certain that you have not compiled *all* the software on your computer.

No, but I can if I have to, or add anything I want to, if I chose to, or recompile it after hacking the source myself, if I feel the need to.

I'm not bound to the vagarcies and schedules of distro package managers... at least not yet, although the distros are fighting hard to lock it all down.

You make a woman's arguments, sound for the sake of sound.

Along with the inapropriateness of that comment, the only sound I hear is the sound of my keyboard buttons. Are you blind and using a text reader? That is pretty cool, if so, although the one built into opensuse is very subpar.
