...Err, what? That was intended _in no way_ as a personal attack.

If I was mistaken I do apologize, but lately I've run across quite a lot
of people offering review feedback to patches I post that turn out to
have 0 or 10 patches in the kernel, and - to be blunt - a pattern of
offering feedback in strong language with a presumption of experience
that takes a lot to respond to adequately on a technical basis.

I don't think a suggestion to spend a bit more time reading code instead
of speculating is out of order! We could all, put more effort into how
we offer review feedback.
