And once again, my apologies for earlier. It is no excuse, but that particular day I had the misfortune of combining codeine and a lot of cough medicine due to a heavy flu. This affected my mind. I was quite appalled with myself when I read what I had written to you the next day, very embarrassing, I was clearly off in a grim imagination land and had completely underestimated its effects on my wits.
As a token of making good on my earlier behaviours, do feel free to email me off list to review your pull requests for any problems, either before or after you submit them. And thank you once again for making the effort, it is hugely appreciated here.
Rest assured, I harbor no ill will at all. Quite the contrary, notwithstanding the text written, it was obvious you were a battle-seasoned professional and knowledgeable software engineer, one worth listening to. As a newbie to the Boost mailing list, I have gained invaluable information from you and others that will stand me in good stead. The ones to feel sorry for are those involved in the Linux kernel -- Linus Torvalds most certainly does not apologize for his comments! <g> I appreciate your candor, a welcome trait in the professional world. I'm currently working on verifying the changes using the regression test suite, and cleaning up the changes based on the comments you posted the other day. Thank you for your kind offer to eyeball my pull requests before or after submitting them. I will certainly feel free to take you up on your offer. Moshe
