Umm, I don't know that one - who said this? Freddie M.? He doesn't count as the old Queen didn't play according to this line, they basically disbanded after his death. "So there you have it".

OK, I know this one, and I try to learn from past mistakes. As I'm a nobody, nobody will miss me here.
Good luck.

Look, I don't know you so I guess you must've started here in the last couple of months. [EDIT: Oh, sorry, you did, it says right under your name. My bad.] But I'm not really sure what that post means. It's pretty off-topic for a start. And although the thing about Queen is kind of interesting, your commentary is completely undermining everything I said, not to mention the fact that you basically repeated something I said (the bit about not being important) without quoting, as though it was your idea. I don't normally do this but I care quite a bit about the issue here, and I'd appreciate it if you could avoid making my opinion look stupid (although this probably wasn't intentional).

PM me if you want to discuss this out of the public eye. Looks like the study's on hold for a bit anyway.

Look, I wished you luck w/ your exams + made a dark-humored comment about your future unemployment. I haven't noticed you were angry about it, you replied matter-of-factly. I thought we were both OK w/ our little conversation here http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23218&p=121314&hilit=unemployment#p121314

Now back to present day. I think you take it a little too personal. I disagreed w/ the idea that the show must go on and found (in my opinion) a neat way to even get Queen's support for my view as they didn't just play on after F.M.'s "departure" :-)
You claim I've "taken" your idea about being unimportant. Sorry, but it's a little to generic to be called *your* idea. I didn't mean to repeat after anyone, I just voiced my own opinion. I didn't quote you, because that part had nothing to do w/ you. I'm quiting ZW whether you do or not. I haven't done much here so it won't hurt anyone, because I wasn't responsible for anything. I just want to finish one thing I started and I'm gone.

Well, I disagreed w/ you wrt to the first quote and I wrote why. Does that make you look stupid? Than pick a better quote next time ;-)
We all are entitled to our own opinions - you believe that the past should be left behind but not totally forgotten as some lessons need to be learned and I just say that this whole situation means game over for me.

Did I get you more or less right?

I know, and that was no problem. (It was a good joke. ;D )

Oh, OK, I get that. I thought you were getting sidetracked by who said it.

I see the bit about voicing your own opinion (being unimportant) but it just seemed to me that you were repeating my idea pointlessly (most people go "I agree" or "+1" or "good point"). However, that was no reason to assume you were stealing it. Sorry.

And yeah, you had it pretty much right. I guess I shouldn't have reacted like that. Although I think it's a shame you're going too. Good luck, anyway. No hard feelings, 'K? :)

Does anyone here know which distro gapan and Akuna are going to land? (Or they already made a choice?)

Okay it's out of topic.

But since my computer is committed to Zenwalk GNOME, I just want to ask:
Since gapan left, is it better to go back to original Zenwalk (XFCE) or there's already a person in charge of the GNOME version line?

Huh, just goes to show that a confrontational attitude does not help when trying to work with people.

Don't know, plenty of people who are technically savvy seem to lack diplomacy and shall we say 'social skills'.

I have not really used Zenwalk for about two years now, although still running 2.6 on an old 900mhz machine where it is still extremely fast and stable, just the ticket for a quick browse and email.
But I'll use it again on newer machines whenever it seems right.
If I went by the politics there'ld be nothing left to use, no Debian, no Slackware, no PCLOS, and most of the others I don't like particularly.
Despite people having obvious grievances, I think JP is right to look to the future. Long live Zenwalk, and all the best to people involved in this sorry episode.
