Which means what?

That you are one of the 'targeted users'?

After all, if it didn't work for me, I must have needed something special, something that required tweaking. Therefore, by the reasoning displayed so far, I wasn't one of the targeted users. Which means it's not a problem, but a feature.

Right?

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Honestly?

SMB is something you either do or don't. If it doesn't work then that's a bug that no configuration in the world would help.

Really?

If SMB is buggy, and you offer configuration as a solution, then all you've gained is a configurable bug. Why not actually [link|http://bugzilla.gnome.org/|report the problem]?

pull the other one

if config works elsewhere but not in gnome, why do you pull the finger on the app? Gnome is now cack, it used to be useful. Now keep the smelling the gnome rose and hoist its praises, we use something that works
billfor us. The lusers will bow down to the gnome while cursing its deficiencies. The rest of us move on.
