My patience with you is exhausted.  You repeatedly said that you don't
like the way that I/we work.  You even created a fork and advertised
it on any occasion.  Do you expect that I work for you to make it
easier for you to maintain it?  Do you expect that I spend the time to
answer your questions?  You can share your ideas with those people who
use your fork, but your comments on this list are certainly against my
desire.

Helmut.
