Guys, I fear this is descending into a non productive direction. Why don't the two of you just pick up an old-fashioned phone or link up via IRC or whatnot and just "talk it out". I'm sure you can resolve this disagreement in a nice manner that allows us to continue enjoying the good collaboration between collectd and rrdtool. Cheers!
