We all appreciate your work and input - leaf is a group effort, not something that's done by a couple of coders. People don't have to be programmers to be able to express their ideas on leaf-devel, or pass some sort of a test or anything like that, and that's a good thing. I was merely trying to point out that discussions like that often develop a life of their own and become disconnected from what's actually happening on the development front.

True, but people who write code can misunderstand something too, or read too much into something.
