Hi good people!

I would like to thank everybody who contributed to Ethereal for such a nice 
program. I am a Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) contributing 
developer and in the last task I took upon myself to do, I had to write 
another handler to the repository-access vtable which involved protocol 
extensions on both the HTTP/WebDAV/DeltaV protocol and the custom Subversion 
protocol.

My extensions did not work right after they were fully isolated. And the 
problem was that I could not see what I just wrote to the stream. So I used 
Ethereal (for the first time) to record the conversations. After some 
experimenting, I found out how to display them in a nice format, which 
allowed me to see where the output went wrong. That way, with the help of 
Ethereal and gdb, I was able to eliminate these bugs, and end up with a fully 
working code.

So thanks for taking the effort in developing such a convenient program. It is 
really impressive. I'm looking forward to making further use of it when the 
need arises.

Best regards,

	Shlomi Fish

say" sections, in case you have such on your homepage.
