Yeah. Sorry again. I was frustrated. Your email basically said everything was wrong with my patch. The subject was wrong. The commit message was too short. The Fixes tag was wrong. The patch wasn't correct and didn't address the root cause. And then when you mentioned "bare brain" I misunderstood and took it personal. In the end, I think we've all agreed the patch is basically fine. I will change the subject and resend. People are going to send you patches, right? It's not a big deal. You just have to look it over and see if it's useful or not. You should try to respond within a week or two. But even if you apply a bad patch you have a couple months to test it before it goes to users. And even when a bug reaches users, that's unfortunate but it can still be fixed. regards, dan carpenter
