Oh really. I just checked.

24/10/2004 - I posted the patch for the 1st time
sometime later - I added it to bug database as well
07/11/2005 - patch was rediscovered and an active discussion started
(which means there was more than one reply per year)
12/08/2006 - patch got applied

By this time, of course, I didn't track the fate of the patch.

THREE YEARS for a teensy patch like this???!!

You are glacial.


Another patch, which I posted more than once, and this one
is not applied:

You didn't even have any objections. You just dropped the ball.

You know, I have more interesting things to do in this life
than spending three more years getting it applied.
Especially that it is a bit bigger, who knows, maybe
I'm being optimistic about three years here...
