This way of speaking (I find it is standard with technical people, not 
just a language issue) was a big shock to me the first time I offered up 
help, and seemed to be smashed back down.
I felt quite deflated and hurt, but it really is just getting to the 
point, and in most cases not meant as an insult but rather helping out 
by pointing out how things could be better. I learned to appreciate the 
fact that someone has bothered to analyse my code, regardless of their 
opinion of it.

At the end of the day, if you don't agree, you just don't change your 
code :-)

But just for the record ...

Angelo, you are doing a great job. I really appreciate your help (both 
hands on and advise) and I am sure most people here at least respect 
your effort, regardless of whether they agree with the project, or like 
the code itself. You did not initially want to use libyui and you did 
not want to use Perl. You are now doing both in the hope of achieving 
the greater goal.

Thank you!

Now get back and fix your rubbish code !! lol :-P

Cheers
