Which is what I'd been saying from the beginning (though let's be clear: it isn't *my* diatribe; all I did was complain that I found your reply cheeky, and I even made clear that I realised it might not have been deliberate... all the subsequent pointless argument has been started and perpetuated by gnu.org people.) At this point I'm thoroughly fed-up, so: 1. I won't be contributing to Emacs in future. Instead, I'll either keep my changes to myself or I'll go back to XEmacs. 2. If I see *any* further email on this topic, I will withdraw my current patch and won't be signing any copyright assignment forms. E- mail about the patch itself is, of course, fine.
