my response (and all future ones) in the mozillazine thread
I missed one person's first name while getting at the content of the discussion -- this is not evidence of "not reading". The fact that it was lower case obviously added to the confusion. (you quoted it as being Uppercase, when in fact
comment 74 said
"including ere's comments.") "ere's" could have meant "everyone's" for all I knew. and searching the whole page for "ere" didn't do me much good because it's in plenty of words on the page, and eventually I gave up (apparently before the 27th hit on the page).
Your other points are valid (and your opinions are just that: opinions). I admit I am frustrated (while at the same time trying to do anything I can to help) and I could have worded my questions even better than I did.
I am still unclear when this problem will be fixed in a version I can download and install from mozilla.org
I am happy to learn more about how posting patches works -- it is good to know the protocol so that it won't confuse me anymore.
