 Dont know if that is sarcastic or not, but I'll smile too ;-)

 No, apparently I havent. What is the point?

 well then I need you to explain carefully exactly what you mean.

 I'm sorry, but I cannot see a private mail from you in my box. I'm not
saying that you didnt post, just that I didnt see it. As soon as the
topic has [MiNT] in it, I assume its from the list. If that was not the
case, I have not received it. Please resend?

 I care about all evolutions. But we need to be careful not to create
more problems with MP, VM and other things we dont have yet. If we
continue to develop bad designs, we'll never see those things either.
