Hi Kevin,

I do not believe anything warrants putting my name in there. I didn't
report the issue, I never suggested any particular piece of code, I
will not be reviewing it, I'm not using OpenChrome, etc.

I only gave you an example on how to use git to dig the history.
Anything you infer from that is your own.


Thanks,
pq
