I meant the loner label as relating to programming only. It is not 
necessarily a negative thing, more stating a close-to-a-fact, that he 
was not really a collaborative/team programmer


And no, I didn't know him personally.


> Martin was a generous guy, always ready to help people.

I was referring more to the fact that he worked alone on most of his 
code. He was not a teamplayer. One does not exclude the other.


I wrote to the notice of him passing away that he did work hard on the 
2.2.0 objpas/classes rewrite (the component streaming)

Cheap and baseless dig.


> Also, he was open to discussion, I did work on some projects with him.

There was communication too in the time he worked on component streaming 
in FPC. But that is something else from working in a team as more or 
less equals, without him specifying all the rules down to how symbols 
should be mangled (-ty). I never saw that, but maybe you can prove me wrong.
