Tomas' style is direct and to-the-point. Maybe to the casual reader this
may seem as hostile, but you should realise that he (and many other team
members like myself) are not native English speakers so expressing
ourselves in English isn't always as subtle as it might be.

I can assure you that Tomas is not hostile and that he has done and does
a lot to resolve bugs in SquirrelMail. While he works hard, his time is
limited and so it really helps all of us if people provide as detailed
information as possible so he can debug the problem efficiently. He's
trying to get that information and nothing more.

I understand that you're trying to help the projects, which is
appreciated, but it would help to realise that the developers on this
list are doing even more work for the software that you've been using
for free for all that time. It would therefore be advisable to not seek
malice in our people but rather try to interpret a situation like this
as a misunderstanding than as an attempt to scare you away.


Thanks.
