 "I am not sure what you think spamming the bug tracker is going to
 accomplish."

 The spam was unintentional as already stated in that thread.


 "There is no indication that there are "thousands upon thousands" of users
 "just like you"; there have been a dozen or so users requesting protocol
 icons in the buddy list, compared to the *millions* of Pidgin users out
 there."

 I am just guessing since I am sure statistically many people think in the
 same way I do. Proof of this guess is irrelevant.



 "As has been stated in numerous places (which you undoubtedly neglected to
 research or read), protocol icons could be reinstated by a plugin. We are
 not going to write such a plugin, but you may."

 I do not have the knowlage as of yet to make such a plugin and egerly
 await someone who can make one.
