I'm mystified about what's going on right now.
Both versions involve clicking.
Both versions involve command-line steps.
The difference is that the GitHub version requires more of both, needlessly. That's the point of what I wrote. That's the only point.
I don't understand this context where I'm being forced to defend an argument that's been foisted upon me and that I never made and never even thought of trying to make.
- diminoten 7y agoI'm sorry you don't understand it, but you don't get to ignore the implications that spawn off of your argument just because they're inconvenient.
- colbyrussell 7y agoWhat? You get to imagine some bad argument that would make it most convenient for you, and then demand that I defend that argument, as if it were one that I wanted to make? This is what I'm responsible for? Dealing with someone who resorts to strawmanning the person/idea at the other end when challenged?
- diminoten 7y agoI'm not imagining it, and that's the problem you're running into. It's a consequence of what you said.

- dllthomas 7y agoIt's not a direct consequence of anything that was said. It's a possible implication - in the conversational sense of implication, not the logical sense - but those get to be disclaimed.
- diminoten 7y agoHis stance is literally that using a GUI is harder. That isn't a consequence, it's his core position.
- colbyrussell 7y agoIt's literally not my stance. And I've literally said that it's not my stance—in a comment (that should have never been necessary to begin with) meant to remove all doubt. And you know this. To continue saying otherwise (explicitly, even) is a case of outright intellectual dishonesty.
- diminoten 7y agoIt's you backing off of a claim you clearly now know is nonsense once someone challenged you on it.
- colbyrussell 7y agoMy phone number is listed on my home page. Please give me a call.
- diminoten 7y agoWhy on God's green earth would I ever give you a call???
- dllthomas 7y agoFWIW, I certainly didn't read his comment that way, and in light of his explicit denial that that's what he intended maybe you should reconsider whether there are alternate interpretations available.
- diminoten 7y agoAre you reading some of the other comment threads he's participating in? It seems like he's taking this whole thing very personally, and it's hard to pin down exactly what he's trying to say when he won't calm down. He wants me to call him, as if escalating this will be worth it... He didn't even answer your very reasonable question above. Don't you wonder why that is?
- dllthomas 7y agoThe patch version only involves clicking when sending an email with an attachment involves clicking, right?
