No, it wasn't time to move on. Paul was reporting a real code problem and working to get it solved, which is part of what exim-dev is for. (I introduced a bug for old systems and relied upon a suggestion I found for how to deal with those systems, but that was a mistake on my part.) By contrast, we don't all need to hear another screed about the one true mail-system design and managerial instructions from the side-lines about what we should do, with no patches offered. Speaking personally, Paul's input on exim-dev has been considerably more constructive and useful than yours, Bill, and it's disappointing to discover that he was being told by you, off-list, to shut up. Please don't do that. I could be as gracious as David demonstrated recently, with an off-list reply myself, but I do think it *important* that this point be made where others can see and know that at least one maintainer actively and strongly disagrees with what you did here. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
