Dear Phillip,

Thousand apologies. I had no intent to offend you.
The village idiot is actually meant to be me :)

I've already read on Wikipedia about all the uses of SquashFS, and I do
not underestimate
your work by no means.

I apologise again if I sounded like that. I don't feel superior or
gloating by bisecting
the code to your commit. By no means.

Still I somehow managed to underestimate your contribution to The Cause,
and I am
new to this community, so please forgive me this error. I tried to sound
diplomatic
rather than lecturing.

Obviously, I failed :(

Mirsad
