Hi Frederic,

don't worry too much. Such a 'riot' happens from time to time, and it does not matter that much. People just have opinions, and expressing them through a ML is proven to be the wrong place : sometime it degenerates (like it did) simply because the asyncronous nature of a mail makes it frustrating.

Such a discussion in a F2F meeting would _not_ degenerate like this, and sometime a quick skype session simply cool down things (I have experimented it more than once !).

It's just a matter of time, and things settle by themselves. Sometime it also helps if people realize how futile was the conversation, and accept the idea that words are just words.

About the rules, as Talleyrand said : "Les règles, quand on les violent, ne se mettent pas à hurler" (basically, "rules don't yell when you break them"). People do.

So, to end this thread, I would like to personnally apologize if my mails have been too far, It was not my intention to hurt anyone, and my last mail was just a little bit too harsh. Anyway, forget about the messenger, and get the message : Javadoc is good to have.
