What do you expect? Joe, You have made similar statements a number of times. It disturbs be that something like that would happen. Not being one of the amanda developers, I certainly was not responsible for the slight, but that should not happen and it is quite distinct from the response I encountered when I suggested any patches. Things were accepted, rejected, and one was greatly enhanced by a better coder. But none were ignored. So I tried to look into what happened to your submissions. I keep an personal archive of -users and -hackers though I can't claim they have 100% of all articles posted they have the vast majority. My -hackers archive goes back to mid-1999 and has nearly 3000 articles. Here is what I found posted under your name. Nov 2000 7 posts Suggested changes to chg-zd-mtx Jun 2003 4 posts Discussion of Win32 client Oct 2003 1 post Question about using amrecover Jan 2004 4 posts Discussion of chg-mtx Feb 2004 1 post Question about amanda development status I only found the one submission for enhancements to chg-zd-mtx. That submission was accepted and your contribution is attributed in the code. Would you point me to your other submissions so that I can check into what happend and why they were mishandled.
