Alex is really friendly most of the time. And if he's not, here reasons/solutions:
- try later again - dont write in n00b language - dont rephrase your stuff all again - dont say anything bad about his coding/commit style - dont tell him its his fault that trunk does not work anymore ;-) - dont revert 100 revs full of good code just because trunk does not run anymore (Hey GL ;-) )
P.S. This is generalized, I wathcged your talk in IRC and those stuff above does not fit to your messages generally.
