I said "Clearly threading irq handlers does have something to do with real time" then you say "they can be used for RT too" .. So my comments are clearly correct , they have "something" to do with real time. There exists a relationship of some kind or type.

We need less insults on this list not more.. Maybe I could understand his reaction had I insulted him, but I didn't.. "Fair reaction" doesn't fit in this case ..
