Can you send me a copy of the email where you *explicitly*
approved my patch?. I have been looking through my email logs,
and quite simply what you wrote in the last paragraph seems to
be a fabrication. I sent you one email (off-list). I've checked my
email log that saves a copy of every email I send. I sent you
*one* email directly; otherwise I pinged the mailing lists
(which you freely admit you don't read). Furthermore, the two
emails, sent by you, are archived in the gcc-patches@ list. Neither
*explicitly* approves my patch. In fact, one of those archived
emails (the one that I quote above) suggests that you sent a third
email. Well, it never arrived. Spam is filtered to a junk mail
folder, and I also save a copy of every email I receive in a
backup folder. The third email does not exist (at least in
my mailboxes).
