Then my point of view must have triggered recognition. It didn't. > I came up with the optimal way of doing it > in my head, and considered all the possibilities. Great!

Yeah, my bad ;-) > Sorry if you find it childish to want to move on from that sort > of rehashing. No, I find it childish that you revert to childish arguments when you could have said that you've gone over this before already with multiple people and that this was intended as a formality only and that you didn't want to rehash it. In fact, you could just as well have committed this :-) > I'm sorry if that was how it seemed... And yes, I am incapable > of convincing you, for now.

Maybe if I spend as much time on it as you apparently did I would have come to the same conclusion as you. It's possible that my point of view is the direct result of not having thought it through. The point is that I didn't spend the time and that I have in my head this notion that it makes sense in some other way. I think I did my best to get us in line in an attempt to find mutual understanding. I don't feel responsible for you perceiving it as bikeshedding. If it was, please tell me next time when I do it again. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
