Except that the problem continues into the present. Very recently I submitted a patch. The guy who specifically requested the patch "didn't have time" to look at it. OK, fine ... but I don't have time to submit patches that aren't going to be looked at. > You > know what you did and said, and some other people may recall, but the > 'community' doesn't.

(Personally I'd like it > to be easier, but that's exactly a *personal* opinion) I have found that it is much easier to send my code to various third parties, who will remain nameless, and let them submit it. Or I just leave it lying around and wait for somebody to plagiarize it. It turns out that my code is perfectly acceptable to this community, so long as it doesn't have my name on it. There's a lot more I could say about this, but I choose not to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
