I didn't post that.

No, I just said it was a bit slow for day to day work, and I'm keeping 
the NRPE 2.3 code back because I don't want to release something that 
98% of all users won't be able to compile. I do, however, acknowledge 
people when they send me patches and I respond to them as soon as I see 
the patch with a "yes, will be included", "no, won't be included 
because..." or "I'll keep it in mind, but the patch won't apply to 
current code".

The difference is that many contributors are getting increasingly 
annoyed about the lack of response to patches sent in. It doesn't matter 
if a patch is committed or not, so long as we know whether the author 
thinks it's a good idea or not to do so, but it's close to impossible to 
keep working on other flaws when you have no idea if the patch (or some 
form of it) will be committed or not.

It somehow doesn't feel quite right to have you teaching me good 
manners. I might catch some very nasty habits of first telling people 
what they should do and then being rude to them in a non-witty way.
