Re: Who owns the GSL?

I am really happy with GSL
I needed something like it, and wow ... I have it.
The people here are nice too,  I get good answers to some stupid
questions, so I learn a lot.

Perhaps Mr Tisdale have a point, but I think that are better ways to
speak about it.
Thanks to all GSL people!!!
Sorry for my english.
