<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I have steped in on other matters where a project developer ( was Alex
also ) was attacked. Seeing that these "growing pains" of the project
seem to be re-occuring ( and in diferent areas of the project ). I realize I am
an outsider of the project, but none the less, i feel that an important problem
is starting to rear its little ugly head: there aren't any non-developer types
there to help deal with sticking to policy ( because from what i can see, the
developers are to envolved with code to handle policy) and I think that in
order to prevent further contamination of the code, there needs to be a single
(or group) individual responsable for collecting information on how MS handles
things. <br>
<br>
<br>
In this matter, I have to say that I agree with WD and think Alex's actions
were ok. He showed that if required to re-write his code, he would at least
have enough of an understanding to write something that worked. I feel that
Hartmut's actions are hostile, and questionable, though I do agree that the binary
code doesn't lie, and a major portion of React OS binary is similar to MS'es,
but in duplicating functionality, this should be expected... <br>
