Well I think if you want someone to make changes to their open source
project it''s up to you to explain what changes you''d like or
what doesn''t
work (or better, a pull request!) rather than just referring to a 3 page
post. I don''t think I''d read into his responses what
you''ve read, but
that''s easy to do, and I can see how some of your responses could come
across the wrong way too.
And sometimes different projects have differences of opinion on approach,
dependencies etc. That''s OK!
