Nate, you know damn well that's not true. You're complaining about three lines in a large patch. Further, those three lines of the patch fix excessively long (+80 char) lines. Yes, you're right that those are non-functional changes and that ideally non-functional changes are placed in separate commits. You've also been around long enough to know that you're right and to be able to say so with an air of authority without a sense of insecurity, ending any debate about it after a mere 2 or 3 curt exchanges. Further, your communication skills should be sufficiently advanced to have noticed what appears (to me, at least) to have been the subtle miscommunication that occurred between message-id <199907282000.OAA02728@mt.sri.com> and message-id which lead to the stupid place you two are now sitting in. -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
