[Tim Blechmann]

i'm not sure, if you understand, what i wanted to tell you, maybe
because of by bad written english, i'm not a native speaker. i'm not
sure, if i'm reading you mail correctly, maybe because of the same
reason.

nevertheless, if you're interested in the concept differences between pd
and pnpd, you are free to read my design docs or my dev blog or post
questions of the mailinglist.

i think, we can stop the flamewar, now

There's no such entity as "most people". These are generalities. All
