No problem. I did not mean to sound condescending. I gave a rather long
explanation instead of simply reverting your changes without much
detail because I did not want to come across as being dictatorial. I
guess there is always a risk of being misinterpreted on email, no
matter how you write things. :)

Anyway, this is not koki.org that we are talking about, so if the
people on this list disagree with what I do, please say so, and let's
have a constructive discussion. That is what this list is for after
all.

Cheers,

Koki
