I am not the only one with the belief that your process sucked.
And neither is the person below.  Many people see it that way.

The way they chose to "notify" Marcus shows a complete lack of  
respect for Marcus.  As Theo expressed in the thread, there is NO

would you treat an individual, working on the code out of their own  
desire, with less respect?
