get to the point. or is logic beyond your capabilities? All you can
focus on is that I didn't put _your_ name on the change. A shame.
But given your previous behavior, entirely expected.
Your so-called "announcement" was followup email to the _same_ people
who had been able to watch the discussion of the problem. That's
not an announcement.
hmm - no overall changelog entry for the project, no webpage giving
project news. Just a mailing list (subscription-only ;-).
