It is not a degrade as such. He gave a reason for -1 and I provided a solution that would solve the problem he had with it. He proposed another problem and I have provided a solution to that. If he has any more issue with it then we will continue this dance. If it gets to the point that either I give up or the only reasons remaining are religious then we stop. If the only reasons are religious then they are effectively "no explanation". I have been slammed a number of times in the past for using purely religious arguments - as a consequence I now only argue if there is some logic behind it ;) "no explanation" is covered by Apache rules. >PS: In the nine months I've been following Ant development I've never >seen a -1 ignored or overruled and I really really hope this is never >going to happen. As I said above it is neither ignored or overruled.
