Re: [Bug-gnubg] Current categorization of doubling mistakes (new thread)

[olivier croisille]

I do apologize if it sounded as an offence/excessive criticism, it certainly 
wasn't indended. But that kind of post, I type and send in one go, just as I 
would speak in return in a passionate discussion. And since I'm totally 
hooked on BG, my discussions about it usually are passionate.

Plus, at the end of the day, my boss pays me to be efficient, so I should be 
efficient when posting to gnu.org :-), so I usually skip re-reading.

Plus, as a Frenchman, I certainly have a Latin temper!! which is why I 
usually have an above-average rate of smileys in my posts, so that people 
don't take it too seriously  :-)))))))))))))))))))

I guess being written, this sounds even harscher than when spoken. How damn 
do they say "Les paroles volent, les écrits restent" in english, I cannot 
recall, can someone tell me?

Being totally ignorant of programming, my one and only feeling towards Gnubg 
programmers is gratitude. So please keep up the brilliant work!

Olivier
