Whoah . . . Alex, is there a possibility that you could bring up your RI bugs with the spec team for javamail? If you could get them to acknowledge it as a bug (or perhaps track down one of the old spec leads), it might help you get out of this argument without it erupting in flames.
If I were arguing your point, I'd just ask the spec lead for javamail--I imagine they'd be willing to give you some direction and perhaps give your argument some authority (failing that, they'd clarify this matter so people could shrug shoulders and move on).

I suggest you go back and read the Alex threads. The reason no one wants to respond is they don't want to get into this exact kind of pissing match. It is an extreme waste of time and almost none of the threads come to a conclusion, and most end in a rant about how the big bad committers are crushing his enthusiasm. Alex has already burned out David Blevins and my self, and it looks like Jeremy is close to giving up on working with him. After that I don't know who would be willing to work with him, and since he has burned a lot of bridges already I don't see him getting commit access anytime soon. -dain /************************* * Dain Sundstrom * Partner * Core Developers Network *************************/
