I'm sorry you do. It's not something that can be phrased without risking offense, though. > My work will be open for review before it goes in. I suggest you > criticize the work, not me You miss the point (and trimmed the relevant footnote, to boot). I am not qualified to criticize the C-level programming, because I assume there are some subtle issues in handling crypto beyond using strncat instead of strcat. Therefore, I'm in a position where I have to delegate the work to you. That being so, and being unable to verify that you can dive like a duck, I'd at least like to hear you quack like one. > or my motivations. Where did I criticize your motivations? I'd like to correct my words if I gave that impression. I certainly didn't intend that.
