You are really really a ***poor*** guy. I'm really sorry for you and=
=20
for this list.
I cannot let you piss on my feet (even if they are waterproofed).

But what the people around may not know is that we invite you to visi=
t=20
us for 4
days (unfortunately someone decided to die in my family, this should =
be=20
a sign)
and that you slept at my place while my wife went to the funeral 1200=
=20
km away.
We tried with the group to understand the modules and see how to help=
.

Sure this does not count for you.

And then, did I not refactor the fileList completely, and then what i=
s=20
the point
I tried to understand the problem harvester encountered. I read much=

more code that
I signed. I ported Ginsu to 3.1 to help.

May be I talk too much. May be I'm frustrated to see Squeak not movin=

I'm sad for you in fact. Apparently you do not know what means not=
=20
having a
secure place and having two small kids.

But sure you asked all the brillant guys working with you to work on=
=20
squeak, you are
proposing new lectures on Smalltalk, writing articles on Squeak,=20
pushing books on Squeak
towards editor, organizing a conference on Smalltalk, organizing free=
=20
books distribution
to universities, collecting a free Smalltalk cds, scanning out printe=
d=20
book to give to
the community, writing a book for novices,....

Everybody knows that you do that daily.

I hope that you feel better now.

At least you should respect people that hosted you. Few people eat at=
=20
my place,
and fewer sleep in my beds. Apparently you were not appreciating it.
