I remember a lot of bickering mainly because Linus was (seemingly) ignoring patches from ESR. Well today my attention was directed towards: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html And I stumbled across the following section: "We're (largely) volunteers. We take time out of busy lives to answer questions, and at times we're overwhelmed with them. So we filter ruthlessly. In particular, we throw away questions from people who appear to be losers in order to spend our question-answering time more efficiently, on winners." So what is it, Eric? Are you a winner or a luser ("..for historical reasons.." :-)? It seems to me, as if you got a doze of your own medicine. Well... sorry for this rather irrelevant post - I simply couldn't help myself :) Regards Thomas Wentzel
