I think that any attempt to convert this conversation to personal matters
involving feelings and emotions is unacceptable on any kind of technical mailing
list both open source or closed source. I'm sure you can understand that people
have different working hours from different time zones and have many pressing
issues originating from dozens of mailing lists to focus on to keep our open
source mission rolling. We are very serious about open source (every project
should for that matter) and this *should* not become a playground arguing about
authorships.
