I usually reply to points made by others in the > assumption that there's some meaning behind them ;-) It was about how much time I wasted replicating work that I didn't know about. Some folks have different communication styles and it isn't ment to be anything further than that. Me and Peter are talking about possibly merging parts of each other's patch.
