No, it's not your fault for making mistakes.  We *expect* newbies to
make mistakes.

It's Greg's fault for merging these when they weren't sent to the list
or to the other maintainers.  But Greg knows I'm annoyed already since
we have been dealing with the fallout for months and I always make sure
to complain whenever I have a chance.  /me shakes a fist!  Grrr....  :P
