the wonderful thing about open source is that generally you are speaking to
people that are FAR more qualified and FAR cleverer.

you remind me a lot of someone (and i can name a lot of developers) who has
something and is convinced that they are immediately superior because of
this 'something' that they have.

don't apologise. as i will not (as requested in your ealier mail).

open source needs to be kept free of people like yourself. otherwise nothing
will ever change.
