for forums there exist tapatalk so some people are still interested in
not using garbage browsers for such tasks, even a company probably earns
much money with that software.

So u critisize me for trolling, then u troll 10 times more than I do,
that makes sense.

see last sentence thats true for u then too.

So u KNOW that? or u just GUESS GUESS GUESS around wildly or did u read
every forum posts on taht topic did u scan the internet for every
newsreader and other stuff?

I know and admit happily that I dont know all, so I ask if somebody else
knows something, I learned u dont know anything about my topic, good for
u if nobody else answers in 2-3 days, ok there is maybe really no
solution except doing something for myself or live with it. But because
I use gnus sinse a few months and maybe emacs since a year, I ask here
because I thought thats the point of this forums for people to ask
stuff. aka get support.

BTW I did never tell somebody to develop it for me or something else, I
just tried to get answers to facts that make no sense to me, again it
makes no sense to remove a big feature without a good reason from a
software. So maybe somebody else then u that dont have to guess why that
is stumbles over this post and gives a real answer.

So u know that for a fact? u are a gnus developer?

so when I troll I am a troll and when u troll u throw apples ok.

First I check if somebody else solved this problem before because I am
not stupid and dont want to reinvent the wheel again and again.

But they have regression mostly out of a mistake, they dont explizitly
commit regressions most of the time.
