If I did, there would have been no need for me to sit down and provide the patch. But responding to the rejection(?) couldn't be done in any other form than repeating what I stated initially: Columns are definitely easier to receive than wide lines. I believed this to be obvious and a proven / established opinion. It seems it wasn't. Or at least there has been no other feedback but one public voice against my change (don't know about the reasons but I guess the issue is just too small to argue about it for too long). And I was afraid that somebody would shout out something along the lines of "bike shed!" should some discussion start or even last for a little while. :) To cut it short: I don't force this change on anybody, but I still invite interested FreeBSD admins in using it. And I will keep this one in my local repo for sure. :> virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
