Re: Patch to correct a little wording mistake

["Peter Davoust" <worldgnat gmail com>]

Milan,

I agree with you that it is a little repetitive, and while I wouldn't
call it grammatically wrong, changing the sentence to "The network
connection has been interrupted" as you suggest might make it sound
more professional and just better. Anyway, I'm just a lowly high
school student, and I'm not a developer either. I just thought I'd
support your idea.

Cheers,
-Peter
