I can't believe you just took advantage of this situation to flaunt your White
Male Privilege in the POV-Ray Patriarchy and a) assume my Gender, b) fail to
realize that YOUR gender is simply a fluid social construct, and c) Man-splain

BINARY.

exemplified the ideology of, "You don't like it?  Tough ----"




Still love what you do here, and that you have the energy and motivation to do
it.

But the documentation is still incomplete, right where I said it was and why.

Why can't you just admit it when you're WRONG?

Hrrrrmpfh.    MEN.
