So do I sound too aggressive? I tried my best to be as polite as
possible. And now you say that I seem too aggressive. That's what
surprises me.

My only concern is if I am still too aggressive. I want to know what I
can improve in my communication with other guys.

We invented the cookie pointers before you came to ARAnyM list and told
us that it was broken. We did it in a good will that following things
like XHDI can't be that bad.

And I said in another mail that I was going to fix it. So if it was our
fault or not we will fix it.

We don't enforce. We just propose and discuss. Enforcing looks
different, believe me.
