This email said nothing about sending a status update or a deadline or any question at all, only that you'd revert the patch if I was unable to resolve the issue. So what's your point? > I also talked about the RMT in the third person. My intent was to > make So?

Which I tried to explain several times, but apparently not well enough. Let me give you a short rundown from my perspective: - A patch is sent that I mistakenly thought was a new feature and thus did not apply time too immediately. - After a while I get an email from you as spokesperson of the RMT that if this is not fixed it'll have to be reverted eventually. - I learn that Andrew tried to reach me. Again, I believe you Andrew, that you sent the email, but I never saw it. Whether it's some filtering or a user error that made it disappear, I have no idea, but I'm surely sorry about that. - I receive that email we keep talking about, the one in which you treat me like I'm not even worth being addressed. > You didn't say anything at all, which speaks for itself. And makes it > impossible for us to be flexible. Which flexibility did I ask for? It'd be nice if you only accused me of things I did. Honestly I do not understand you at all. You keep treating me like I was asking for anything unreasonable while I'm only trying to explain why I didn't act earlier. The only issue I have is the rude treatment you gave me. Just for the record, of course I'm going to look into the issue before your deadline and will send a status update.
