--- Comment #241 from Enrico Tagliavini <enrico.tagliav...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #235) > If this were clear-cut, it would have been done ages ago.

Thank you for being a member if this community Sir! You are definitely making a difference. Sorry for the "mostly useless" comment, but I think it's important to also show some support for the community members, as a lot of times the negative one are under the spot light. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
