It was very generous of you to spend so much time on that
informative and thorough reply Al.
My own response was _much_ more terse.
What I wonder is if that sort of guided response can be
setup as documentation for kernel-newbies / janitors so
that future new submitters can have better ideas as to
what code can and should be improved instead of getting
simple and sometimes ill-advised whitespace changes.
cheers, Joe
