This user's perspective, having been affected by the previous issue: 1. There was a problem that needed fixed. Agree. 2. Something was done to fix it. =:^) 3. Now it's going a bit far (publicly, at least). Also Agree. If there had been even a single question on anyone else's commits during this period, it'd arguably be different. But just as the previous had gotten a bit ridiculous and a course correction was needed, so here as well. I certainly have to respect him for sticking with it in the face of opposition... in both instances. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
