I must say that your attitude towards persons contributing to Linux (of which this email is the least of it) has over the years lost Linux persons much more talented than yourself. We lost the opportunity to have one of DARPAs hot young security researchers contribute to us because his experience was that Linux maintainers are a collection of assholes hostile to new contributors, and he had too much self respect to deal with the likes of you. He was a very nice and talented young man. Frankly, I look at Linux, and I see all the reasons why I decided not to develop for BSD coming to life in Linux now that Linux is more successful than BSD. Inner circle, hostility to newcomers, patch acceptance based on whose nose is in whose ass, etc., etc. Hans - 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/
