Just for the record, I didn't even notice what set of commit bits andre has, and I would have sent exactly the same comment even if he was a member of doceng@ or [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-) It's also true that the sun is still going to come up tomorrow no matter what winds up on the homepage, so I'd like people not to get *too* worked up over this, regardless of how they feel.
