Very well. Assuming with "explained" you mean that you gave your reasoning as 
well, instead of just that statement which was quoted. Because the lack of that 
is what Nicolas led to refuse your opinion.

Communication is the biggest problem indeed. In this case as well, I think you 
should have transported your reasoning back to this thread on the ML - you 
cannot blame anyone for not following live discussion like VDD or IRC. If you 
would have done so, your opinion could not have been waived away like Nicolas did.

p.s. sure, IRC is not really live, yet we expect to follow up on history only on 
the ML. Which is one reason why we say things like "as agreed on by X on IRC" in 
patch threads, for example.
