"We would like the very best" etc, is very true, and, I dunno about you guys, but I _hate_ it when people pee down _my_ back, and then want the _pee_, to pay for my work for them. ..I _do_ get more pee-tolerant when asked for a simple "Yes". ..that said, the meaning of polite words, phrases and, _contexts_, can be perceived _vastly_ differently, and we need to beware of these cultural and linguist things, whenever we ask favors like this, and especially when our, _and_, their command of the comm language, such as with the GPL legalese, is disputable. ..so, I prefer _preventive_ chew outs, and for FlightGear, I'll give'em and I'll take'em, also in private mails. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
