Having a bad day or do you talk to everyone this way?

If there currently isn't an Apache server anywhere then yes, it does
require its own.

I happen to like it. My email was simply stating that because of it,
subversion won't be used widely here. It's just a statement. Feel free to
ignore it. I just wanted the people who do care to know about it.

My email wasn't whiny -- you just took it the wrong way.

I don't want the policies to change. They are there for a reason and I
happen to like most of them. Some are annoying but I can live with that.
I was just stating that they exist.

As I said before, if you don't like the email then ignore it. I'll keep
sending them though so you might want to find a way to cope. Maybe you
need a vacation.
