Hi Rhonda,

I do not agree I'm how you describe above. I'm not such a bad person,
and hopefully, if you search inside your heart, you'll recognize it.
Anyways, if I have hurt you, it never was intentional, and I'm truly
sorry about it.

Now, can we move on? Please point out what I dared to wrongly commit,
and I'll be very happy to improve what I wrote with your help. I can't
wait to see what your patch looks like, so we can finally close this 6
years old unaddressed bug.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

P.S: I took the time to rewrite this 3/4 times, hopefully you wont take
any of my words the wrong way, and you'll assume a good faith. There's
zero sarcasm in the above.
