I don't use emacs either. I just noticed that the comment below states that the line **MUST** be within the first eight lines of the file. Assuming that this was just a minor oversight, I reported it. Do we really need these timestamp lines when everything is source-controlled using git? Can we just remove it all? -- Thanking You, Darshit Shah PGP Fingerprint: 7845 120B 07CB D8D6 ECE5 FF2B 2A17 43ED A91A 35B6
