I most certainly did not.  All *I* did was complain that I didn't  
like your remark; I didn't invite and don't care for a discussion on  
the subject.

Which is what I'd been saying from the beginning (though let's be  
clear: it isn't *my* diatribe; all I did was complain that I found  
your reply cheeky, and I even made clear that I realised it might not  
have been deliberate... all the subsequent pointless argument has  
been started and perpetuated by gnu.org people.)

At this point I'm thoroughly fed-up, so:

1. I won't be contributing to Emacs in future.  Instead, I'll either  
keep my changes to myself or I'll go back to XEmacs.

2. If I see *any* further email on this topic, I will withdraw my  
current patch and won't be signing any copyright assignment forms.  E- 
mail about the patch itself is, of course, fine.

Alastair.
