Hi, excuse my top posting but I think we can relax a little bit. The situation now is clear enough and the code will be changed accordingly when we use it and merge parts of it in our main trunk. I can understand you Rob and I am also a little bit peeved about it but we can't really change it and have to accept what people are saying. Dennis and Dave who both do not really work on product relevant code don't have to work on this code as well. For all others you have explained how it is possible even now. Let us move forward and don't waste energy in a fruitless discussion with nitpicking.
