Hi Zdenek,

I saw what you committed to CVS and all that I can say is "wow, this
guy really does not want me to submit a patch ever again".

Modifying my patch to make the indentation 10x worse, while not
actually reducing the amount of difference, which is supposedly what
your complaint above is all about, then committing it without even
giving me a chance to give any feedback is a total amature move.  It's
clear that you don't really have any respect for contributors nor any
real idea about what it takes to write professional code, so count me
out...  I'm more than capable of maintaining my own fork of ipmitool
without having to deal with ridiculous code formatting arguments.

Please take my name off this patch.  I do not want my name associated with the
mess that you committed.

When I see a commit in cvs which says "run lindent on all code, added
coding style document", then maybe I'll think about contributing back
any of my work.

thanks
dan
