Contrary to what you imply, I have read the thread between you an
Patrick Costello, and I was under the impression Sun's policy was at
fault not Pat's team. I am willing to help fix it, not that I can affect
Sun's internal policy, but I don't think thats what you meant.

relevant question you yourself asked? Don't worry I'll show myself the
door.
