First, my tirade was not intended to be as such. �I wanted to pull the<br>
patch because it was incorrect and I did not want anyone else working<br>
on it while I silently trimmed it and made it better.<br>
Second, I realize this has affected my 'Jeremy White' score. �I hope<br>
that AJ understands why the code was pulled and that this happens<br>
frequently with a project this large.<br>

No, it doesn't. Requesting your code to be pulled is a serious matter,<br>
and a major break of the trust that is necessary for us all to work<br>
together. You can't do something like this and expect it not to have<br>
consequences.<br>
<br>
It was already unlikely that you would get any of your patches in, based<br>
on their technical merit, but now even if you managed to make your code<br>
acceptable, I wouldn't put it in, because I can't trust you not to make<br>
me pull it out again next time you get mad at me.<br>
<br>

And I agree with this decision. �You are technically "the keeper of the code" and I have on more than one occasion transgressed this unwritten rule.<br>
<br>
However, I will still post patches for comments in Wine Development and subsequently release them to the LGPL/Wine in Wine-Patches so that others can work with them. �I feel that is only fair for what I have done. �Is that acceptable?<br>
<br>
This seems to be the method used by others, however I have been known to be massively incorrect in the past, and I could be wrong now.<br>
<br>
If posting them to bug reports is the preferred method I will that instead.<br><font color="#888888">
