I have stated numerous times that the patch is attributed to Ralf 
Habacker.  Do not claim that you think I am asking for my name to be on 
the patch; I have not done so, I am not doing so, and I will not do so.

Put Ralf's name in the change log!!!

Get that?

Put Ralf's name in the change log!!!

I gave you a link to that change log entry.

Please, stop trying to change the topic away from the fact that you are 
trying to steal credit for Ralf's patch.

Give Ralf credit for the work that he did and stop your silly attempt to 
save face by arguing with me.
