Woah, hold it there cowboy.

The ONLY fix I will apply to a part not already submitted as a fix would be to
slightly adjust the part position.  I feel that small and minor errors can be
fixed by anyone and would only fly off the handle (ok, I don't fly off the
handle but others do) if someone submitted a major change to my part.  In fact I
would be not at all be bothered if someone fixed some minor error in my code,
after all they know where it is.

That being said,  I think that this rant should have been privately Emailed to
the people in question (Myself and Steffen) and not posted here.
