Joe, these comments frustrate me because the paint a negative picture of Mark and myself that is simply inaccurate. Mark an I both pointed out specific problems with the approach the submitter was taking and offered alternative approaches to bypass the problems. Then the submitter voluntarily closed his own issue. In general, I try to avoid closing issues as invalid and let the submitter do so (as in THRIFT-692) unless it is something obvious like a missing build dependency. I think it's implied that any committer (or contributor for that matter) should feel free to comment on any issue. --David On 08/14/2010 09:25 AM, Joe Schaefer wrote: > THRIFT-819 to me is a pattern of dialog I'd like > to see improved.
