He He right, yes. But I think for my age and sensitivity to understand the
moments (i am wrong often; however :=). We're not doing fuzzy testing (I do
personally because I have to take a certification sans660 but are personal
things), but you're trying to do something, coverity, qa . So you have given
the input, I'll try to come back ('m going crazy sull'autofu of maxrom and
docbook, grr. But yeah, that's fine). i was called here and I have my
pleasure. I do what I can and go forward. Always. It's not much, I
understand.
