Well it was discussed with people who were in charge of identity (buchan) and sysadmins (misc, boklm) and also webteam (rda) and Anne also.

But it was rather straight forward : just replace default register links by links to identity... there was no big flame around it :)

Well, considering that when something occurs the first reflex is to incriminate (without clue) changes made without consensus and considering that this is just pure injustice (thing that i can hardly stand), i guess you one can understand (and perhaps forgive) the lack of friendliness of my mail.

But you're right : in an ideal world i shouldn't have  overresponded... sorry for that :-(

I'm available for discussions...

My mail box is open, i'm often available on irc, you can PM me on the forum... but i hope you'll understand i'm less available for accusation.

I don't remember having received a PM or a mail or even an IRC highlight about this link issue before this (sub)thread asking that changes are discussed before being done.

Again, sorry for having overresponded, but in my defense, even if it was done in good faith and with the will to help, it looked like an accusation of getting away with murder without previous discussion.

Next time, with a little bit of caution when asking for explanations about something, and with a little bit of moderation when answering, the thread will probably be smoother :)

Cheers,
