People are people. > Anyway, I would be happy to see the typo. Look up thread. You replied to the message where I commented on it. There are two ways to argue this. - It is the linux kernel development style to do small simple obviously patches that copy the maintainer of the code you are changing. - Explain why that is the style. The basic idea is that on a simple patch that is well described, it is trivial to check and trivial to verify. Eric
