    I get the impression that you're suggesting that I lack critical
    thinking skills but you have them. Ignoring the sheer arrogance of that
    thinking for the moment, let me just point out that Gnome 2 is dead and
    won't be coming to another Fedora release ever - little critical
    thinking needs to be done to understand that.
       

Given that adoption of the GNOME2 fork from MINT has been discussed 
here, it
would seem that you sure as hell SOUNDS like you are professing 
influence on
Fedora content, It sounds as if you, single handedly, can prevent 
inclusion.
Or do your "critical thinking skills" mean only "critical of others?"

Anyway, therer is a credible port, you also said:

    Gnome 2 is dead save for any
    reasonable efforts to fork it (which I doubt will ever occur).
       


Before you claim that I take that sentence out of context, it was part 
of a paragraph about
flame-bait, and was out of context already.
