I must admit that Mark gets the credit for pushing me on this privately

While I welcome your enthusiasm, I'd suggest we keep the focus and make
small steps.

That's why I wanted commit access for you: so you fix your own "bug"
without "bugging" me. I just love English sometimes :)

Mah, you'll learn fast, like everybody does.
For now, I'd suggest you to look into the jakarta.apache.org

your Mac).
