Comment (by BigRedBrent):

 "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. Statistically if you
 have a single person actually register to a sight to state a claim you can
 rest assured that at least a few ten thousand people in the world share
 his exact views. Now if more then one person do the same then the
 statistics are multiplied. I do not have any documentation to support
 this, but I do not feel I should provide evidence to those who don't
 already know such trivial facts.



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

 I do not have the knowledge as of yet to make such a plug-in and eagerly
 await someone who can make one.
