no. For that matter, he doesn't know who any of us are (nor care).

I don't think that's his intent - sorry.  He got up steam on another mailing
list (bugtraq), and came over to lynx-dev to show what he thinks of us.
If he were at all inclined to contribute something tangible, he'd have done
so at the outset.  (And yes, I've got the tempname stuff still in mind -
but would like the code to work properly as well as addressing his special
interests).
