Wow. > No wonder so few people like you on lkml. See, the thing Larry didn't hear was Garloff _actually_ said: "Sorry Larry, I can't [*in good conscience*] control Pavel [*like that*]." No to mention that it _isn't_ Garloff's problem. I wonder who are the "leading kernel developers" that Larry mentions. Probably giggling in the background after their practical joke actually worked :) On a more straight-faced note, perhaps Larry thought a BK clone was being developed _at SuSE_? That would make it a less stupid request. -- Jamie
