Maybe your opinion would carry some weight if you had even a little bit of a clue about what you are talking about. How long have you been on this list? How much effort have you put into debugging this plugin issue? Were you even remotely involed in the process of coming up with a patch for the issue? Do you even use the botnet plugin yourself and experienced the issue? How many times have you assisted new botnet users that are facing the timeout issue and provided them a link to the patch over the past 2 years? How many open source projects do you support directly yourself? Are you actually giving anything back to the community that you gain so much benefit from, or are you just an occasional lurker that sometimes feels the need to express his opinion about something/anything (whether you actually know anything about it or not) because you have nothing better to do? Next time get a clue before you willy nilly jump in on a thread and start flapping about something you really know nothing about! Bill
