Christopher,
  you didn't reply to my answer to your first email in that thread,
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-06/msg00306.html
and I am quite confused by your wording?
  Should I understand this as an approval?
Or is it just because you did not see my reply?
  In that case, is it because I did not send to you?
  I always suppress your email from the recipients
because of the use-the-mailinglist suffix, but maybe you only mean
that we should never reply only personnally to you?
