[GNC] Gnucash-User

[D]

David C.

I know what nabble is, and I know that nabble is not gnucash-user. 

People who use nabble to experience gnucash-user as a forum should pay attention to this fact, and place the blame for nabble's failings where they belong: with nabble. *

Personally, I find nabble's penchant for never letting me leave their site when I choose ("Don't go yet! Don't you want to use our resume service?") to be irritating in the extreme, and avoid it like the plague. But, hey to each their own.

* For those who say that these users are unaware of the difference between nabble and gnucash-user, I will note that every message that goes through the gnucash list server addresses this in the tag line.
