I heard this a lot of times now. I think it is not "harsh", but "direct". There is nobody saying "you are a bloody fool". At least not in the first response, and certainly not without explaining why. Sure, I, for one, am not overly polite. I do not start my mail with "It is such a nice thing that you decided to provide a patch. I am certain that you know C pretty well, but there _might_ be a few _tiny_ improvements, would you indulge with me to let them lay out in front of you?" I do not do that because it goes without saying in Open Source that I would not _bother_ to reply if I was not interested. And it Just Wastes My Time. Maybe I should start my mails with "Disclaimer: I only reply to you because I am interested in your patch." Ciao, Dscho
