Please, are we capable of having this mediated out. I know that the both of you are understanding people. Can we please have a bit of compromise from both of you on this issue? There is a time and a place for this kind of rhetoric, but this with Sarge Pending, is neither the time nor the place (nor the era) for this kind of thing to get in the way of getting things done. There are FAR to many things to put this energy to rather than bickering and wasting your valuable abilities on this. Both of you are valuable to me, valuable in such ways that I need not worry *IF* something is addressed, but in how I could use a stopwatch to measure the swiftness with which things are done. I know, silly me being a greedy little Debian user (actually that is funny as I am not exactly little either 330#). If I need to, I'll just sit on both of you until this is settled or at least manageable for all parties concerned. Sincerely, with an offer to mediate.
