I hate to keep this going, but it sounds like you genuinely want to know for future reference. So, from your initial post: "I agree. I'm very annoyed that I have to read about this problem on slashdot. The misc list is not the right place for this announcement...." Martin's reply was much more condescending. I know it is very easy to misinterpret people online, which is what seems to have happened here. To me, both of your posts initially came across as kind of unappreciative, and I'd imagine at least a few developers probably feel that way too (but I can't speak for them). I'm not saying that you're unappreciative, just that it seemed that way. That is why when I write suggestions, I usually find something to thank the person for too, just so they don't feel under attack. Only hearing from people about things that are done _wrong_ really gets old. We all know that. Darren's latest reply summed up what I have to say so I'm gonna stop replying to this thread. I think everyone has made their points and we're all on the same page. -- Kian Mohageri
