I feel that for something to get better, its problems need to be
talked about. The unfortunate part is that most Linux users and
developers close their ears to the mere suggestion that the operating
system is anything less than ideal for everyone. It's not just in this
"advocate" newsgroup, it's everywhere.

Except that using Seahorse and importing your key there allows it to
be available in all applications that support GPG including Evolution
which syncs beautifully (and natively) with Google Calendar. You're
essentially reducing functionality (unwillingly) because the
open-source guys can't get their act together.

You can't use Google Calendar in Thunderbird??? Could have fooled me.

Notice the use of the word _natively_ . With Thunderbird, you can do
so but require a plug-in.

So Thunderbird has an architecture to NATIVELY support Plugins, one of
which is LIGHTNING, which supports Google Calendar. So, Slimer, what's
the problem?

Every OS has an architecture to NATIVELY support applications meaning when Peter asked for a native GUI to help him with networking Snit's pointing to a third party app was completely fine to you.

Thank you for admitting your attacking him over it was just more of your trolling.
