It is 90%. In doc maintaining, the viewpoint matters very much. The choice
is YOURS, do you want me to do it, or do _you_ want to do it.. I don't know
why my viewpoint was good for a years, until now.

Not cool, but it had to be done.

If you agree, don't write a mail suggesting if you checked my grammar you'd
have found much more bugs, and I'm Evil(tm) anyways.

-oldpp ?

What? When? Just grepped for "vqmin" - a new option - but couldn't find
anything!

So?

Yeah, browsers surely don't break patches...

Filtered both.

But you told me every 5 minutes on IRC to do it. And I didn't want to write
another WarpVision news entry again. Write it yourself, if you want it so
much.

I won't ask questions in a flame thread: it's dishonouring. The explanation
is nowhere. And you still didn't explain them. You had 2-3 days to drop
3 lines on IRC...

It's not funny. You'll know that, if you wanna be doxmaint.

I've never seen such patch. Extending patches are always applied or saved
for later processing.

This is the mail in which I wrote about fonts, no replies here.
