Dear Sir,

Mr. Satenstein we already told you more then once, that is not the right
place to discuss GNOME design as we are not responsible for that. You even
called us ignorant for that, still wait for an excuse for that misbehaivor.

You are still here to demand your view it should be done because you dont
like to see there is a difference between frequent and favorites. So leave
us alone. Please.

@all others dont feed the troll
