Never mind! :-( Don't antagonize the man - that really won't get anyone further along. How would you have felt if I had written you recently stating that I would like you to use a different codebase for your form class? You would probably tell me to piss off - and quite rightly so. :) Rasmus is amazingly terse. I know that many have expressed feelings that this makes him tough to handle at times - especially when you combine his communication style with the weight that he has in the community. However, despite his position, he is still subject to the same checks and balances that everyone else on this list is subject to. If someone steps out of line, then one or more of their peers (or betters) will call them on it or try to reason the issue with them. Is Rasmus out of line on this issue - not in my opinion. Perhaps he could have saved your feelings by explaining his reasons, however I can guess that the reason that Rasmus is so damn curt is because he has *no* time. Just my 0.02 cents on the matter. :) --zak
