But someone has to. (-: I'm desperately sorry that the legal agreements which constrain the distribution of several years of work by a number of people (me included) are annoying. I'll get right on that. Actually, I've been looking into how I can make the patchset download a little easier, but your posts have done little except get me a little agro and less inclined to work on that. Next time I'd appreciate it if you left out the whining. Constructive criticism is great. Wading through the whining to get to it just makes people less inclined to even read your post in the first place, let alone look for useful points (and you did in fact have one hidden away in the first post).
