ok, I got this letter from somone who appears to be related to the

project, yet doesnt appear in its ChangeLog.

Subject: giFTcurs gentoo package
From: Josh Guilfoyle <jasta@gotlinux.org>

If you aren't going to keep up to date with giFTcurs releases, I strongly
suggest you remove the package from gentoo.  In fact, consider this a
request to remove the package.


----

This person is not related to the giFTcurs project, and only does it for
the kick of bashing Gentoo.


Am I naive who actually believe people ought to be polite?


BAH!
