Hi,

Please could your stop spamming this list with these "corrections" and  
"better wordings". Surely it is interesting to every translator, but it  
was said "send me", not "send us".

Please also stop bashing Oliver. He is doing the best he can (I am sure  
that this is even too much). There are not many (I'd say too few) people  
in FOSS community with such dedication. "Entertainment can sometimes be  
hard when the thing that you love is the same thing that's holding you  
down."

Believe me, if this was happened in any other community (at least in  
Fedora or Opera Software ASA), you would be just ignored or banned.

Best regards,
Yuri
