The best way to fix it is either to return to the situation before  
the patch be applied, as it has no sense to make things difficult  
without any improvement at all.

I never flamed anybody and will not, but I really did not appreciate  
the attitude of the person who destroyed entirely what I did without  
even tested it and without being able to supply a working equivalent.  
What I intend to say here is that is the way I should work with  
conglomerate, I don't want to do it.

And I feel exactly like Sean expressed it, though probably I had not  
have expressed it so loudly and violently.

I mean I'm just a volunteer, nothing more.

That would be a solution. And probably the best one for anybody.
