[...] uhm, [and the uninterested reader might want to skip to the next mail ;-)], i'm really confused about your reply.

To make it even clearer, please re-read it with the tag added as well for clarity: > > > > > > Roman, please do me a favor, and ask me the following question: > > > > " Ingo, you've been maintaining the scheduler for years.

(If you didnt see/read it as sarcastic straight away then my apologies for insulting you!) The "_might_ be able to answer" bit is of course sarcastic too, and contrary to your (i have to say, pretty absurd) suggestion i did not suggest that i "might be _willing_ to answer" - which would be quite arrogant indeed and which i never said or suggested. To make it even clearer: i'm definitely able to answer questions about code i wrote originally and which i just changed, were you to show genuine interest in hearing my opinion :-) Ingo
