Just sleep a night about the discussions for this issue and count then
how often you changed your opinions and points. It all started with a
objection from you against 'nofullflush' and ended in that you want to
explain me the develpment process. And then think again if this
unimportant minor change was worth all that ridiculous flaming.

Good night,
