Generally, I think this is covered in the intro blurb to most sections. If someone sends in a patch and doesn't update that section to add their own name then that's OK, and if they do then that's OK too. We could just start adding everybody who submits a patch, but as you say, you either have to include everyone, or start being subjective. I don't have a problem with including everyone if someone wants to manage that section. . . N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95.
