Another way I look at this is ranking preferences: sometimes one might prefer no change above a change one disagrees with. Other times, that may not be the case. It can be difficult to get this information from a comment on a patch. I tend to err on the verbose side for this reason, but sending follow-up comments is also a good way to make one's preferences known. Tom
