For a start, maybe present these facts. I can only tell from this
discussion, but the problem is that you exactly don't describe most
of the bugs you mention. You talk like you assume that everyone else
shares your experiences and views of the problems.

As for attack, you certainly did. Should I really try to quote all
the attacks and offenses against persons and projects you've made in
this thread? They all can be read in the archives ...

Are you trolling? The mail quoted was my first mail in this thread,
so what exactly do you mean by "constantly"? Secondly, I made it
quite clear that I was only criticizing your style, i.e. your way of
arguing here. I didn't criticize you for using or not using any
system at all ...
