I pick out _one_ piece of code that _one_ random person posts publicly (so, it happens to be one of the leaders of the free open source world) and suddenly I'm a zealot. I'm a nobody and proud of that fact. I was just explaining my dislike of a particular code structure based on my earlier training and experience. In the time since my writing of that post and your response, though, I have since been "Enlightenned" by all of the wonderful people on this discussion forum. -Rob - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
