That is patently untrue. I *never* once agreed that the initial specification was acceptable, and continued to press for the need to have the solution deal with new branches 'on the fly'. In any case, why are you doing this? I'm trying to help here, and now you're jumping all over me after I sent you numerous emails over the course of 2 weeks *AFTER* 2.2.5 was released which you didn't respond to. > Rather than attempt to meet a "moving target" before ANY of my work > is allowed in, I prefer to spend my limited time working within other > projects where the methodology is specification driven. This is utter and complete BS. Richard, you have now made it completely obvious that you no intent on doing anything of the sort, and instead are only interested in taking potshots at developers from the stands without any interest or desire to make any real contributions to the FreeBSD code-base. If anyone really cares, I have the complete archive of the discussion squirelled away to prove my point. This is the last time I volunteer to help Richard with anything, since it's obvious that he's not interested in helping, and only wasting my time. Nate
