Hah!

I wonder if the idiots tried the fun charade that they call `Gnome'?
[which obviously isn't as portable as they want you to believe]

[Yes I have a personal dislike against some of gnome for those

 their lists. If unsure why, either ask Gerald Hicks or me about
 Miguel de Icaza or some other part of the gnome developers.]
