I didn't say anything about replacing wikicreole, only fixing the bugs.
Using the dashes for strike-through is a requirement of wikicreole. We can't drop it without creating some new standard (even if the result is just wikicreole with a different strike-through modifier).
Indeed. Perhaps you remember i had submitted two bodies of code for irc to the user contribs. One code body was an extension to mirc (or any other irc client which could handle the socks interface),
I don't remember the submission, but I do recall something like this being mentioned. While it's a worthwhile contribution, I'm not sure it is good enough to become std/net/irc.e because of the dependency on an external irc client.
the other was an eubot.
You claimed it was just a bot shell. This one, I recall that you took the code down so it was no longer open source or available to the community.
I think it's possible i had more experience in writing irc code (i had also written a couple irc servers) than anyone else, but i gave up trying to contribute.
Agreed.
I could not force you to accept from me, altho you'd have accepted from anyone else.
I disagree. If you had presented code to the dev team, I would have accepted it. You never presented a std/net/irc.e, and went as far as to take down code that could have been adapted for it.
It's made me useless, regardless of how many times you edit my sigline and change it to eukat.

As I recall, this occured because CoJaBo rejected your changes that were designed to spoof the referrer in an http request, as some web sites would only serve web pages if the referrer was another page on the same web site, and then went further and deemed the entire process useless. (CoJaBo is not a dev with commit access, never had it, and never had the authority to reject your changes.)
(A change which I supported, and argued should be added to the stdlib.)
The situation of refusing to serve a page on that basis means you cannot add that page to your local cache of page links and simply refresh it, it means you must go to a page you don't want to see, and then manually go to the page you did want to see. This can mean traversing several pages in between.
This is true.
In my opinion, that issue was independant of the content_length issue and the tasks issue.
Also true. Back to the point, those issues were not the original reason for your pseudonym change.
So did *you* test the tasks mod to http.e yet?

Matt beat me to it.
