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 :(
