Commit wars are generally frowned upon, especially when the new functionality has other supporters.

(Is this in the rules yet??) Actually, I think Mike is doing the smart thing and hoping that you'll just go away. He doesn't need or want to get embroiled in a long and pointless argument over another bus shelter. If you want to talk constructively about the implementation of the option, I'd suggest you get in touch with Martin Cracauer and sort it out between yourselves, as he did have some valid points there. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
