Revised reply as I subsequently notice Chris Rees lack of attribution
falsely implies I wrote stuff I did not.

I did not write that.  That was

Seems Chris's butcher colleague Matthias annoyed Erik too.

Further Chris's unattributed chunk

Was not from or to me, but was:

	From: Matthias Andree <mandree at freebsd.org>
	Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:06:30 +0200
	To: Erik Trulsson <ertr1013 at student.uu.se>
	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-September/070075.html	

Only Chris's final bit had me as sender or recipient, namely:

which was not to Chris but was:

	From Julian H. Stacey jhs at berklix.com
	Tue Sep 13 08:44:10 UTC 2011
	To Matthias Andree
	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-September/070164.html

Chris's lack of attribution checking was misleading, but not suprising,
Chris Rees it was who wanted to kick out procmail. Poor judgement.

A few ports butchers should lose commit bits before ports/ will be safe again.

Cheers,
Julian
