Any good guides for GINA?

The main point stands: why is there ZERO DOCUMENTATION of anything like GINA existing back in the day? No one mentions it in forum posts. No one is able to produce a screenshot of it. If it existed at all, it was entirely a ghost. This is basically impossible, because anything that had even remotely common use would have been discussed - there is simply no way it could have spread between players otherwise!

We are told that because log parsing existed in classic we should be ok with real-time log readers that create new UI elements overlaid on the game client. How disingenuous must you be to equate these two things?

Log parsers existing in 1999, among other things, defends the enabling of the log file. Allowing the game to be run in a window (which is likely a compatibility thing for staff - P99 will not run in full screen for me on Linux). Both of these things combined allow for programs like GINA to function in the way that is offensive to you.
