Who is this "john" you keep referring to in quotes?  Is that funny to you?  you looked at the github project so I know you know my name.

As I already wrote above, I remember you somewhat but sadly not your (given) name.
So I am kindly (guess not) asking to help me to remember your name,
so I can write to the person - not the company.
Since you didn't give me your name, I still replied using 'John' as in 'John Doe'
for people w/o name. OK, that was a joke on my behalf.
And we know how bad Germans (me) are with jokes :)
Probably insulting the whole 'home team' and destroying earth.
(another joke not really funny, considering the current events of
sending weapons for peace, cough cough)

I'm not interested in helping you investigate a bug that - by your admission - is not actually in my way.  I have enough bugs of my own, thanks.

From my end if feels like you're making me jump through ever-more hoops and calling me strange names at the same time.

That is the interesting thing here.
No, I don't know whether using stencil buffers will not help you at all.
I have not looked into your code yet, but I did read over the information you provided.
The latter is fascinating and I wrote about it.
Yes, I might be willing to dive into this subject when I have time,
but it won't be a generic thing AFAIK.

Now, apart from the task,
the stencil exception might be an issue of JOGL
and I like it to be resolved first - the low hanging fruit.
Perhaps it also allows you to use it after fixing it
and maybe it gives you also a good enough result for your own goals?
I don't know Sir.

What did I do to you to get this treatment?

When you do a word count, you might realize that you are given
an excellent amount of attention.

I don't mean evil dude, I am not G**gle ;-)
But yes, maybe sometimes I am too annoying and please accept my apologies.
Hugs,

~Sven

Edit (PS): @Harvey: Thank you for helping trying to make peace.
@Julien: .. and you as well.
