I agree, I was also wondering about situations where someone does submit something however it's redone a bunch my the person who it was submitted to. 'Pointed out by' doesn't give the submitter the credit he deserves for at least trying to supply a diff, but 'Submitted by' gives too much credit when the diff was actually reworked. I've seen 'Submitted (in a different form) by' and I like that. Does that work? Anything better? -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
