Please do not exaggerate.. (I can write more precise technical details in here, but that will not solve the real issue at hand.) You have only your own viewpoint, refuse to listen to anyone else. Wonder why all the DVB developers left development ? It's all about you, yourself and you. Linus doesn't care about anything else, you have been very lucky! You need serious introspection about yourself. Take a deep breath, think for yourself, why I stopped submitting code. Forget myself, think about the list of developers who were around, but not now. People need to have fun with what they are doing, but you make it, everything about yourself. It's all about maintaining connections, rather than destroying them. At least during these uncertain times, please stop the narrow thinking. If you find my view offending, just ignore it, no need to give another thousand mile long essay; I am on my way .. Friendly Regards, MA
