No, that would be reading something "into" my message, that I didn't
write.  As for qouting the part about him trying the other window
managers.  Well, um, _I_ did:

You'll note that I quoted the entire message just for _that_ reason.
Because my response was relevant to his _entire_ message.

It was when David Barr decided to flame me for something I didn't write
the relevant section of the original post was removed.
