Fair enough; I stand corrected (but I think at this stage in the lifetime of the Internet, they're in the minority). >Again, I don't understand why you're making such a big deal of this. If I >find the functionality important and want to spend time implementing it once >we have a new working CVS repository, more power to me, no? I have no objection to you or anyone implementing this functionality (and I don't believe I ever said so). I am just explaining why I don't think it's that important in the larger scheme of things. Obviously, you and I don't agree on this one; that's fine. The original post which triggered your reply was only me saying that I don't think the timezone parsing was anything worth holding up the release on. --Ken
