gimp-uses please. I am subscribed there (digest mode currently)

I think the recent lack of traffic is mainly due to excessive
frustration about the spam.  our lists are set so non-members can post
(please don't bring up that argument again. it has been argued to death
and no changes made) so we get spammed to death.  also someone with a
ton of gimp addresses has picked up klez.  i keep getting klez spams to
the docs at gimp.org address.

Also for gimp is the irc.gimp.org #gimp channel.  You will find
different people depending on your time zone.  If carol is there and
awake, you can find lots and lots of tips and tricks.
