Are you planning to add this to every command. What purpose does this serve, or what problem does it work around? You also fixed the exit(1) to use exit(EX_USAGE), that should have been mentioned here. -- end of my original response to the commit message -- > > I have never met you in person nor have you been around much for the last > few years, so I don't know your style and how to "read" what you say. Read it very dry, direct, and without sarcasm. I am normally quite dry and direct with things. I don't post unless I expect answers to issues I have raised. That's why I've been so quite for so long, not much has alarmed me that someone else didn't jump on. > Email can really be an impersonable medium, and I've found that meeting > several of the committers really helps understanding their emails. It would probably only confuse you in my case. My personality changes significantly from when I am sitting in my office in a work environment and when I am at a social gathering. > In this case, I may have mis-read the situation as I thought we were > getting some unexpected sarcasm. You won't get unexpected sarcasm from me, and that should have been clear by the second or third email on this subject. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
