Hillf, Some of your patches are good, but others are frivolous. It becomes a burden on the maintainer to figure out which is which. I've asked you to please back up your patches with tests and/or benchmarks that clearly demonstrate what you are showing. I have yet to see any of that. If you have trouble coming up with test cases it may be because your assumptions about what is happening is incorrect. If you just randomly send out a bunch of patches where the noise/signal ratio is high, you will soon just be ignored. I don't want this happening, as I stated, some of your patches are good. But when you start to fight back and it becomes clear that you totally do not understand what you are talking about, it becomes hard to take you seriously. -- Steve
