If "...if someone still wants to complain..." was directed at me: I
think that in my reply to Bruce I had already clarified that I was not
criticizing LFS/BLFS.  And if my initial post was unclear in this
respect I'm sorry for that.  But I'm not going to self-censor everything
I'm going to post here or other lists just in order to avoid any
possible misunderstanding or OT-glitch.
