Me too. But eventually I respond to those other emails, and rectify when that new information conflicts with something I said with incomplete information. So far, Collin didn't rectify. > > > > Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 14:28:33 -0500 > > From: Paul Eggert <[email protected]> > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > > > Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 22:31:59 +0200 > > From: Alejandro Colomar <[email protected]> > > Message-ID: <am-eAGL6OWqP9Yah@devuan> > > > > Date: Sun, 02 Aug 2026 16:27:21 -0700 > > From: Collin Funk <[email protected]> > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > > > Also relevant is the fact that he accused me of "slowly" documenting > > "personal preferences".

I only see my style slightly different than Michael's, but not necessarily in the sense of involving a more opinionated approach. See the other messages where I've shown how Michael had done the exact same thing with strlcpy(3) a long time ago. On reconsideration, and after researching what Michael really did, I think I was wrong saying we have a different style at all. I believe we've had the same style. We just had different topics of expertise. Michael has had his own share of opinionated comments in manual pages. Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es>
