Teofilo I have read your "pleasant comments with a smile" at Wikimedia Commons 
Village pump countless times and I don't know if I must be Budha or something 
in the like in order to bear your distortion of facts with a smile.

I just remember one comment from you that you refuse to participate at 
translating of help pages until I do not fully agree with your far fetched 
unwiki like proposal you provided those days. Shall I go more into details?

Pardon? Well again as remaked above you refuse to do something good because 
you think that I would count your efforts as my personal success and as proof 
of everything I do. What a nonsense. By the way can you translate:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:First_steps

into French? Just in order to start with some real work in order to finally 
support French in a decent way in Commons... For sure you won't start because 
you think that I could crow over you. Would be nice if you can proof me wrong 
that you do not believe that and just start translating this crucial tutorial 
(Hint: If you translated it it would be your valuable work not mine. You 
would get the credit not me and I don't care about credit for me).

Daniel Arnold / Arnomane
