How would that make you feel? Probably it would feel very similar to submitting a patch for an open problem that is flawlessly picked up by whatever bug reporting system $project is currently using and then nobody is taking care of it for several years? Or does it feel similar like getting mails saying "Your port is crap. Fix it!"? Don't patrionise me. I did not intend for something like this to happen. > I trust you'll take steps to restore the ability of our russian users > (and other groups who may be filtered in bulk by your mail server) to > contact you by email. Sure. But I also would have done it without your explicit, additional, and frankly somewhat arrogant looking comment. Sergey's mail would have been completely sufficient. Riggs
