Re: [Orgmode] Re: org-capture (lost PATCH?)

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Jambunathan K.,

Please, don't leave the table to Carsten!

The Org-mode community is full of exceptionally talented people, like  
Carsten, who choose to spend some of their time developing Org-mode  
because it is interesting, fun and wickedly useful.

If your patch didn't generate the interest you think it might deserve,  
then please have some more fun developing it to the point that the  
rest of us can have fun with it, too.

All the best,
Tom
