Huh?  I don't recall ever saying that.  I even checked past 5 years mail
archive.  I even expressed that I was willing to add PDFlib support to PHP
that was not available then.  Even if I ever claimed not having time to
contribute with anything else, that's not excuse to not let me added the
PUT patch then.  Lack of time is something that affects every contributor.

All you told me than was to put the patch that I wrote in the Bug database
because you were not interested in adding it to PHP then.  So, the patch
was left rotten in there for months until Jim integrated it.  If the CVS
account was granted then that patch and other useful stuff would have added
to PHP by myself.

But never mind, those are past waters and I can't be bothered to keep
bringing them back.  I just regret all the opportunities that were wasted
by your deliberate boycott. That's all.

More utter lies.  You only tried the patch many months later when Jim
applied it.  The patch was not affecting absolutely nothing else than the
feature it was adding:  PUT upload support.  As for being descriminated, I
only realized that much later.  It's just silly that you are inverting the
argument here just to not look bad before the list audience. Get a grip,
people may not be aware of the stories, but they are not stupid!

All this to say that you'd better be reasonable and stop bothering to
boycott my initiatives to contribute to the evolution of PHP!  I never
took this personally until I noticed your systematic attempts to get in
my way to contribute to PHP. This is why I am forced to keeping bringing
up this soap opera.

I just want to get on with adding stuff that I and many other people need
to take the most of PHP to do my job.  If you don't want me to contribute,
just say it explicitly instead of bringing lame excuses to keep boycotting
my initiatives.  If you don't want to help me, just don't. Thread over!

Can you please cooperate and be more specific on issues that need to be
addressed?
