Don't feel sorry; I wasn't after you ! (and I'm really not after anyone, but
unfortunately I'm can sound sometimes a bit harsh when I read something I
disagree strongly with) ;-)

Don't worry about your skills; if you have the time and wish to contribute,
sure, your first patches may not be accepted "as is" the first couple of
times, but in my own experience, that's one of the best ways to learn (to my
great horror, Google's database is littered with most of the stupid things
I wrote and stupid patches I dared to show. Fortunately, Google doesn't
index the Fidonet forums...)
