This morning I decided to take a break from my less than fruitful job search and slog through the last two days of cvs-commit emails. After reading your commit message, I was so excited that I had to go and fill up my coffee cup...finally, a commit message that I could make a reasonable, informed statement about! This chance to give back to the community filled me with glee. I noticed that your log message had <gasp> incorrect subject/verb agreement! I didn't dare send an email without checking and double-checking though -- I've seen the abuse that can be meted out for ill-reasoned and incorrect emails on the FreeBSD forums, and I wasn't going to be a victim. I sat and thought about "ands" and "ors". I reordered questions into statements and back again. I reread your email. Then reread it again. Finally, I was sure. I could do this. I was in the right. Thousands of people all over the world would be saved from reading the painful sentence, "Why does Netscape and Opera take so long to start?" Then, of course, I checked out the actual file from CVS and found...yep, you guessed it...the sentence is correct in your actual commit. Thanks for momentarily brightening up my day!
