Well, given the bad report on strange apps I never heard about, my 
reactions and that of others wasn't good. The point of your email was 
not clear.

This is a list for both users and developers: as the name "discuss" 
implies. We have a separate list for technical development discussions.

As I said, discussion is actually welcome if useful and carried on in a 
constructive manner. GNUstep appeals to a wide range of users, from 
developers to porters to end-users on a variety of platforms. We are 
used to different opinions.
