GNOME 2.30, End of the (2.x) Line 276
stovicek writes "GNOME 2.30 was originally intended to coincide with GNOME 3.0 — a massive cleanup and rethinking of the popular desktop. However, GNOME 3.0 is delayed for at least another release, which leaves GNOME 2.30 as most likely the last version in a series stretching back almost a decade. [...] 2.30 will probably be the final version of the 2.0 series. For those who were around for GNOME 2.0 back in 2000, the 2.30 release stands as evidence of how far GNOME in general and the free desktop in particular have come in the last decade in usability and design. If you do a search for images of early GNOME releases and compare the results with 2.30, you can have no doubt that, although GNOME sometimes tends to over-simplify, its improvements over the last decade remain unmistakable."

I got first post once, but I didn't even say "first post" or any other misspelled incarnation of it, as I assumed (incorrectly) that someone else would have gotten it by the time my comment went up.
But there it was, at the top of the pile.
Now, when I hear someone say they have no regrets in life, I can only sigh and sadly look down at my feet.

Looks like it over-stupidified your comment as well. Tough luck!

Maybe it's a case of the second system effect [wikipedia.org] or maybe Miguel was already getting Swiss bank account deposits from Microsoft. :-)
