Comment 18 for bug 481825

Hi,
Here's the output

generic@generic-laptop:~$ ls -laR .gvfs
.gvfs:
total 4
dr-x------ 2 generic generic 0 2009-11-14 21:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 29 generic generic 4096 2009-11-14 21:45 ..
generic@generic-laptop:~$

Don't worry about the snarky comment. It can be hard to read emotion over an
email.

Thanks for the info on additional books, etc.

Questions:
I would like to track my messages, bugs etc on launchpad. However I cannot
find a way to do so. I must be missing something. For instance, I cannot
this thread on launchpad. The only way I can respond is either by email or
what was once a link. I installed a PGP so I could directly write to
launchpad. But this has limited utility.

Thanks,
Lee
