Amen to that.

Jan and I had some spectularly bad fights over patch handling (mainly

discussing things in a hurry over e-mail, and were always resolved
when we called to discuss things over the telephone.

I warmly recommend getting together, hacking, thinking and drinking
some beer (or whatever your preferred beverage).
