Historical correction - there was no public discussion of the code when it was being moved. If I slept through that discussion then this point is wrong and can be ignored. What happened was that you moved code from Merlin-specific to all-Avalon without any prior discussion because it worked in Merlin. Then you proceeded to declare the end of the world because that code would not be accepted as-is. If I missed the discussion, and the move of code from Merlin to Avalon-Meta was based on a community (as in all of Avalon) decision, I shall promptly blow my head off with a howitzer or equivalent in shame, but I find no such discussion in the ML archives nor in my memory. /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
