I was just about to tag the other two and reply to them until I read this mail, and realised that it said about everything that I wanted to say. I don't really have any issues with Eray, apart from purely technical disagreements on semantics, but he was a flat-out prick in response to a straight-out statement of fact from myself. He pissed me off and got the response that he IMHO deserved. I'd deliver that to him IRL, and I'd deliver that to a day when I *wasn't* feeling like utter shit. > Additionally, these build are really nothing you _ever_ want to > install.

Yes, I agree with this completely. > Still, Daniel - you've been insulting. Too insulting. Cool down. Bad 24 hours.
