Code:
--Bald players bug fixed.
Original code fix/inspiration by Kraeger
Update by KLS
That seems the best way to me. I completely side with Kraeger here as an unbiased comment. I don't know KLS and I don't know Kraeger, I'm new to the project myself so I have no bias at all but to be honest I think Kraeger is in the right here for the most part.

KLS I am very new to this project and I know exactly who you are, as everyone else does. You don't need any more recognition then the load of it that you already have. Everyone knows who you are and the fact is this never would have been done without Kraeger (at least not anytime soon.)

So I think the patch notes I put at the top of this post will make everyone happy. I would have reacted the same way as Kraeger, but the fact is not too many people read the patch notes. The only people that actually read the patch notes (for the most part) read the forums as well and know what the situation is and know who did what.

So with that said, can you just do what I suggested to make everyone happy and then forget about this issue. KLS you may not understand, but people who are unknown (ironic I know) and have no reputation make these code fixes for the appreciation and recognition more than to fix the problem for the most part.

I don't know Kraeger, maybe he's helped before. But my point is that when someone spends their time fixing something and then sees it completely re-written with different credit given it's a horrible feeling in the gut. I know because I've written several plugins for MQ2 that were stolen by other people and sold as their own, and that just leaves a wrenched feeling in my stomach.
