Personally, it's not the advertising that bugs me, but rather the way that he does it. I agree that telling people about his module is important, but at least do it in a more friendly manner. It is customary (at least in most of the other mailing lists and newsgroups that I hang out in) to at least mention that you are the author of the package that you are advertising. Often, this is preceded by a shameless plug warning. Also, he could start by answering the person's question, before pointing out the faults in the kerneli patch. (Although the subject line is a bit misleading -- to the OP: next time, try to choose a more descriptive subject line, such as "incompatabilities between int.2.4.x and int.2.2.x?") Jari, please be careful how you write your e-mails, as you sometimes come off sounding like a jerk. (Warning: I am not saying you are a jerk. Just some (but not all) of your e-mails make you sound like one.) Some people might not mind it, but it turns a lot of people off. -- Hubert Chan <hackerhue@xxxxxxxx> - http://www.geocities.com/hubertchan/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/651854DF71FDA37F Fingerprint: 6CC5 822D 2E55 494C 81DD 6F2C 6518 54DF 71FD A37F Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
