I hope you don't have any (real) problems with me, either. If  I  was
too  harsh  or  peevishly  please  try to lean back, have a beer, and
accept my sincere apology. I _am_ short of time, and maybe  sometimes
I should rather not reply at all.

I can understand that it's difficult to understand. I make a  lot  of
compromises,  trying  to  lump together the different requirements of
people wanting to see their patches go into  the  CVS  tree,  project
schedules, code stability, and style.

I cannot always check style, and for larger contributions it's  often
simply  not  practicable to strictly enforce one coding style, or one
way how to implement debugging.



So please, relax a bit, and forgive me if I was unfair or impertinent.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
