Sorry, it wasn't meant as a personal attack. Rather a general call to the release team. (If there is a way to anonymize bugs to refer to them, I will use it next time. BTW: My mail didn't include any personal reference. Failing the above feature, would it be more appropriate to write: "No, I don't mean that Luk Claes is stupid."? ;-) Keep cool. bye, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
