So, my apologies to you, Dave, for making such metaphorical instructions. However, your choice to characterize my technical criticism as "rants" and "complaints" and your continuous variations on "let's see you do something better" as if it were a valid response to my objections did get on my nerves and made it very hard for me to take you seriously. -- Nicholas Miell - 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/
