abuse? what abuse. I think MAtt can be asked to "back it out and hold it for a few days. But I also think that there needs to be soemwher for him to apeal to. Until there is somewhere for him to apeal to it is pointless for him to back it out. Backing out assumes that there is a conflict resolution system. Presently there is none. How about YOU suggest that when it is backed out, core will make a decision as to whether his work deserves to be committed and That JHB be asked to "put up or shut up". John is doing good work but as long as he uses P4, this is going to keep happenning. Stop screaming at the symptom and fix the problem! On Tue, 26 Feb 2002, M.
