Alexey, just curious, but are you *really* as stupid as you come across on
the mailing lists? I can't recall the last thing that came out of you
that has had an ounce of intelligence behind it, to the point that *I* am
almost ready to black list your email address ...

You remind me of the 15 year old script kiddies that used to jump into
various IRC channels and get so proud cause they knew how to lock others
out of those channels ... not very hard, nor requiring very much
intelligence, but, hey .. as they say "small things amuse small minds" ...

Quite frankly, if I have to listen to much more of the drivel coming out
of your mouth, I will black list your email address, and most likely to
the cheers of several others ...

Learn to work *with* us, or just go away already ...
