Hi Hartmut,

Sorry for lashing out against you -- I've had an extremly bad week, if 
that's any excuse --. I've been sick, tired, unadmitted to my first 
choice university, and spent sleepness nights with the branch patching.

Both Gunnar and I knew about the beaviour of Queues && KeWaitXxx, my 
reply with him was an "inside joke" on the reason why I un-shared the 
code. Since he argued that speed is not imporant for him, but it is for 
me (our usual chat conversion ;), I brought up as an "inside joke", 
"Hey, btw, windows also asserts!". This was not the reason for the 
changes, and is just a joke I was playing on Gunnar. I understand that 
due to its nature it might've raisen some flags with you, and I 
probabaly overeacted. I don't mean this in an offending way, but your 
English sounded as if you were attacking me (or it might've been that 
bad week I've been having).

In any case, that assert had nothing to do with the changes and it comes 
out of a publically viewable information inside XP Checked Build.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
