Because you are not bound to stick to what you thought before the discussion, what you wrote before everybody commented to improve your proposal does not really matter. Otherwise, the time they spent would be wasted. What matters more is what conclusion you drew after having input from others. "That --silent is optional and cannot decide if I want to have the option was what I said at the beginning" does not help the discussion very much at this point. People know that you couldn't decide back then, and that is why they hopefully helped you to get closer to deciding by discussing the series. "OK, I now think we don't need 'apply --silent' because ..., so I'll drop it" or "I still think we want 'apply --silent' because..., so I'll keep it", followed by "thanks for discussing and helping" would be a more appropriate answer, whichever conclusion you have drawn. "Hmm, I still cannot decide." is also fine, by the way. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
