And let's take into account that in hunting through the VIM lists, you find
zilch from you.  It is pretty incriminating, regardless of the truth behind
the matter.  So, the communications forum you used to notify them happened
to disappear before I conducted my search?  Remind me to work on my psychic
powers... :-)

So, before you use terms like "kiddie", why don't *you* walk a few miles in
my shoes...

Misinformed, I may be, kiddie, I am not.  Regardless of your notifying VIM
(as you claim), the parallel still isn't there -- *THAT* was my original
point.  You whine about two weeks to produce a patch from MS, and then you
wait for an open source project to patch a bug for almost a month, they
don't even start, and you still praise their project.  That's hypocrisy
Georgi, no matter what you call it.
