All you can > focus on is that I didn't put _your_ name on the change. A shame. I have stated numerous times that the patch is attributed to Ralf Habacker. Do not claim that you think I am asking for my name to be on the patch; I have not done so, I am not doing so, and I will not do so. Put Ralf's name in the change log!!! Get that? Put Ralf's name in the change log!!! > But given your previous behavior, entirely expected.

I gave you a link to that change log entry. Please, stop trying to change the topic away from the fact that you are trying to steal credit for Ralf's patch. Give Ralf credit for the work that he did and stop your silly attempt to save face by arguing with me. Harold
