because i pointed out that it would be necessary? because somebody who
knows the code certainly would know that the expected size of the patch
would not justify writing a mail rather than simply having a look at it?
not to mention that any reasonably configured reasonable mailer would
display the patch in-line, making the whole mail overviewable without
taking *any* additional action. in that light it certainly appears
rather pointless to argue principles. but the original response didn't
even appear to do that, it rather seemed like cfg didn't read the mail
past the subject line. i don't see how defending that is supposed to
help in any way. i really have problems taking this situation seriously,
even when i am a completely overloaded maintainer of several projects
myself.
