Also, I didn't even know that rsync was maintained by the Samba crew until I was in the thick of it. Andrew impresses me as an easily upsettable fellow, but he gave me the exact info I needed, so I took the tech part of his message to heart and ignored the emotional part. All's well that ends well, I'm sure Andrew will calm down, and it's not like I've had any regular correspondence on the Samba list since 2000.
