If you did not receive a reply from me, it is not because I didn't try to send you one. My "sent messages" folder on Operamail has a copy of the reply that I sent with the exact same code that I posted later here. Operamail has not been entirely reliable though, and I cannot tell whether it reached you.

As for your thinking process, I don't think that I leapt to any wild conclusions. You didn't deal with the bug that tsee was trying to handle, and didn't indicate that you were aware of it. When I pointed out the existence of the bug, you confirmed that you knew of no such issue in your code. Given that, I think it was fair to conclude that you had not carefully thought through this particular boundary case.
