So, on with the diatribe^Wshow: Well, despite the fact that you have a somewhat offensive tone, I do take what you're saying seriously. Not to say that I'm ENTIRELY discouraged, but your point that I need to have something a lot more solid is well taken. Fortunately, my post has had the intended effect: other people have responded with specific good ideas, ones which can possibly be used to produce something more concretely useful than the vague notion I posited. I don't believe I will completely give up my habit of suggesting vague ideas, because it has been a successful approach in the past. Other intelligent people naturally fill in the holes with knowedge and ideas of their own. On the other hand, before I go off with something too vague, perhaps I will flesh it out with more thought on my own. I hope adding too many of my own ideas won't bias others or prevent people from suggesting alternatives. - 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/
