(about to go to sleep, so the rest must wait) Bandwidth and mailing list archives are cheap, emailing is scriptable and its less confusion to simply discuss, revise, then repost the whole thing. Keeping track of the latest revision of each of 15 patches is an exercise in complexity management :) When its just one or two patches, replying with an updated "[PATCH v2] ..." generally works, but that doesn't scale well. (and, more practically, I made a guess that the patch series would need some revisions somewhere, assumed it would be reposted post-discussion, and deleted it locally after review) Jeff
