I don't think that is an accurate characterization of what happened. 
You sent in a patch.  When I tested it, it didn't work.  I found the 
problems and fixed them.  I posted the fixes.  You didn't pay 
attention to the fixes.  Then we had a discussion about procedural 
issues which didn't get anywhere.

If you sent me correct patches to start with, or if you paid attention 
to the fixes that I needed to incorporate, we could have probably 
avoided the procedural discussion.

But your version and my version are doing the same thing for the 
function that you are interested in.  So, I don't understand what you 
feel aggrieved about!

I am not "encouraging" you to join the development team.  It is your 
choice.  If you want your decisions to prevail, then you have to take 
responsibility.  If you want to be the driver, you have to sit in 
front of the steering wheel.  There are no two ways about it!
