To be frank, we - as the main Gimp developers - have been insulted by
the gimpshop developer(s?) by them just taking our code, messing with it
and just *no* communication.

Additionally - as outlined earlier - the technical solutions used by
Gimpshop are bad and hackish. E.g. Changing the strings to be more
Photoshop-like immediately kills any of the dozends of translations we
have available.

Every Gimpshop Mail on this list annoys me, because of this abuse of
gimp. This is the reason why we are touchy and not willing to "loosen
up".

Please go ahead and create a mailinglist for gimpshop. This is not the
place for it.

Bye,
        Simon
